The gallery is open to all artists who would like to paint/draw/sculpt the objects from observation or interpret in any medium.

Too Fat for China

Phoebe Potts wants a tiny little baby, & she’s stopping at nothing to get one. Her hilarious, award-winning solo takes a comic look on the agony of adoption. The journey starts where she grew up in Brooklyn. Not the lavendar-kale Brooklyn of present day – but old-school Brooklyn, where everyone was Jewish.
Phoebe’s hilarious, heartfelt performance (complete with her own hand-cranked cartoon illustrations) chronicles her quest – and takes us on a journey that encompasses race, religion, interconnectedness and love. Deeply heartfelt, wholly uproarious and very entertaining.
The coziness of Lost Nation Theater’s stage, with the audience surrounding the performer on three sides like a hug, is the perfect way to experience this marvelous production.
Covid Safety Protocols: Masks are encouraged. (LNT’s State of the Art Bio-Defense Air-Purification “Synexis” System is also in service 24/7 keeping everyone as safe as possible.)

April Feel the Wheel
2025-04-24 18:00 - 20:00 | Blockhouse Studio, 5031 Main Street, Waitsfield, VT, 05673
Here’s your chance to try your hand at the potter’s wheel! This workshop will be offered the last Friday of every month (most months).
This is a one time, two hour introduction to learn the basics of wheel throwing.
You will be guided from a ball of clay to your first bowl or cup. Using a simple to understand process, you will learn the foundational techniques needed to enjoy this meditative and somewhat magical craft. Most students will successfully throw at least 2 pots which will be fired and finished by us, ready to pick up in approximately 3 weeks. If you throw more than 2 that you would like to keep we can finish them as well for $15/pot (first 2 are included). Shipping is available for additional fees.
