Maryland’s First Pottery Trail
The Washington County Pottery Trail is Maryland's first pottery trail, featuring ten artists who create unique pottery using different techniques and styles. The trail offers visitors the chance to meet the artists, learn about their work, and even watch them in action. The trail also allows for the purchase of pottery directly from the artists, with a wide selection of functional and decorative pieces available. Exploring the trail also provides the opportunity to enjoy the natural beauty of Washington County and indulge in local flavors at cafes and restaurants.
M4 Studios, Where the Pottery Trail Began
Following the Pottery Trail, we met with M4 Studios, run by artist and potter Kirke Martin, has two galleries, one called the “Roadside Gallery”, which is situated outdoors alongside the road, and a traditional curated indoor gallery.
