This time of year brings a bounty of delectable offerings to feast our eyes on and tantalize our palates. So even though your holiday meal might be scaled down this year you can still enliven your Thanksgiving table with handmade serving pieces from some of the area’s most accomplished artists. For daily use find a bowl to showcase your harvest of Granny Smith or Gala apples or a vase for your favorite flower — each plate or vase or mug for hot cider will bring the handmade work of a local craft person into your home. Some artists will have a selection of ornaments to decorate your home for the holidays. Featuring the Kiln Club.
