Named for the upper Connecticut River Valley which was once known as the Asparagus Valley, the Guild is currently made up of 45 professional artists working in clay. The Asparagus Valley of Western Massachusetts has a rich history of potters settling in the area to create their art with clay and kiln. Forty years ago, a group of them came together for inspiration, camaraderie, and mutual support. Since then the group has grown and diversified, reflecting the changes in the field. From functional pottery to sculpture ceramics, low-fired to wood-fired, wheel-thrown, hand-built, slip-cast and altered, the diversity and vitality of contemporary ceramics will be on view in this 40th Anniversary exhibition.

Nearly 30 makers will be featuring work in this exhbition, including Mary Barringer, Valerie Bunnell, Molly Cantor, Mike Cohen, Cynthia Consentino, Vikki Crowell, Steve Earp, Rick Epstein, Susan Elena Esquivel, Lucy Fagella, Kathy Goos, James Guggina, Molly Hatch, Tiffany Hilton, Maya Machin, Donna McGee, Francine T. Ozereko, Andrew Quient, Malea Rhodes, Mona Shiber, Linda Siska, Evelyn Snyder, Mara Superior, Barbara Walch, Tom White, Bob Woo, Erica Wurtz, and Dan Zulawski. For more information on the guild and its members, visit http://asparagusvalleypottersguild.wordpress.com/gallerycontact.
