This weekend is the Hilltown 6 Pottery Tour, of a group of nationally recognized potters based in Western Massachusetts. A few are opening their studios not too far from me. I've been out of town the past few years I was aware of it, so this year I'm looking forward to exploring a bit and checking it out.

Just look at this amazing object.

Still marveling over this magnificent painting at the Smith College Museum of Art after a visit yesterday, by Joseph Wright of Derby, circa 1774: “A Cavern, Evening”. It utilizes grattage, or scraping, of wet paint using what may have been the wrong end of a paintbrush to carve dizzying ripples into the painted water, and perhaps the edge of a palette knife to scrape rough texture into the rocks lining the grotto. This technique is generally attributed to Max Ernst and the Surrealists 150 years later.

It's a big old Fediverse, but if any of you are in #WesternMass this week, perhaps you'd like to check out three old dudes playing their original tunes in a small park. Well, mostly originals. Might be a couple of covers.

The Exhibit A Brewery has moved to Williamsburg. They're having a soft open today (and didn't have the DIPA I like), but they have an immense tap room and beer garden. And they're co-located with GrandTen distillery, so good cocktails too. It's a bit of a drive, but I can see it's going to be a regular destination for us. #WesternMass

Trying out a new lens I just bought. I’m so glad I moved here to Amherst! I didn’t realize how much I’d enjoy the wildlife and swamps / forests here. #WesternMass

Eric Gaffney, of early Sebadoh, is facing a possibly terminal cancer diagnosis. He’s a good guy, great storyteller, and cares about the things we all do in this space. He does not have much materially. Anyway if you can spare 5 bucks it would help him navigate his ordeal. I’m sure he hates having healthcare by gofundme. Alas…
