PUTNAM — The Putnam Saturday Farmers’ Market (PSFM) is holding the first Artisan Day of its 2015 season from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. June 20 at the Putnam Riverview Marketplace on Kennedy Drive.   The PSFM’s regular farmers and food makers will also be there to sell an increasing variety of summer produce, meats, cheeses, eggs, jams, spices, breads and pickles.

This month’s Artisan Day will feature two PSFM favorites – Aspinock Spring Pottery and Mon Chi Tree.  Aspinock Spring Pottery will be bringing its own fused glass jewelry, bowls and other pieces in addition to the hand-thrown pieces of pottery that it’s known for.  This year Mon Chi Tree is featuring feather-themed art in addition to its nature-inspired jewelry and home décor.  To see images of some of the items Aspinock Spring Pottery and Mon Chi Tree have brought to the Market in the past, please go to the Artisan Page on the PSFM’s website: http://www.putnamfarmersmarket.org/artisans.html.

The PSFM will be holding Artisan Days again on July 18, Aug. 15 and Oct. 17 and will have its Fall Fiber Fest on Sept. 19.  If you are a Connecticut-based artist or crafter who would like to participate in the PSFM, please download the application from the PSFM website or email the PSFM at  This email address is being protected from spambots.
