Master potter Christopher Spitzmiller is best known for his iconic ceramic lamps, which have adorned the Oval Office and commissions of top interior designers around the world. His work, which also includes tableware and ceramic accessories, draws inspiration from classical forms and traditional gem-like glazes. The same could be said for his extraordinary garden, Clove Brook Farm. When his myriad dahlias are in peak bloom, spend the afternoon with Christopher exploring design ideas in both his garden and the adjacent nineteenth-century Grange Hall, which has been converted to a pottery studio.
