Matthew Tell Marlboro potter Matthew Tell has been participating in Vermont Open Studio Weekend for 20 years
— never mind that his studio overlooking Sunset Lake is so remote that visitors often ask, “How do you get out of here in the winter?” Tell uses both wood and gas kilns to create stunning ceramic art. He makes an array of bowls, vases, pitchers and other functional items with surprising sculptural elements and colorful, earthy finishes inspired by Vermont’s natural scenes. And don’t turn back if the dirt road leading to his studio seems like it’ll never end; just keep following the “Keep Going” and “Not Too Far Now” signs. Open Studio Weekend is Saturday and Sunday, May 24 and 25, 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Maps available at participating locations or online at vermontcrafts.com. Pictured: “Chattered Lotus Bowl.”
