Here's the deal...
Many of you have told me for years to move into my studio, but now it's my idea😂🫣😎😂😂
So...things are changing up.

👻There are a couple of things to consider if you're bringing children. (Which are welcome, I mean, I offer kids classes😉🌻❤️and absolutely enjoy curious minds...!)
I'll have kids' books out for looking through. 😊🦋

***Children must be supervised AT ALL TIMES *KEEP hands to yourselves. Things are fragile, and people have spent a lot of time working on pieces that are in the studio. look with your eyes

*WALK. No running.

*No playing in the studio.

*Stay on pathways and driveway and OFF the sculptures in the gardens.

Saturday 10-5
Light snacks.

* Park along the tree-lined driveway, up against the tree stumps or
there's parking behind the building, and you can walk up the side of the building if you prefer.
*street parking and walk down
*parking lot at Kineowatha for play and walk over

I'm looking forward to seeing you.

Ahhhh, the Maine woods. What a beautiful place to be. As if sprinkled with magical, happy calming pollen or magic dust.

Something happens to people here. We breathe deeper, and we return to our inner peace.
For good reason.
These were inspired by my own experience.
As always, thank you for sharing and following along in my journey.
Coming soon to Rangeley heritage days September 20th. I'll be at @thefarmersdaughter. Come see me! 🌲🏞🐝🐞🦋🌻

This is my most popular design.
They sell VERY fast, so if you want one or several, pre-order/pre-pay is available.
PM for details or check the website.

These never even made an appearance in the store. They were snagged up so fast.

Woooop!!
A few new Classes just listed on the website. It's been a minute for sure since I've posted anything at all on my events page.

Deciding to close the store and focus exclusively on Belle Creative arts located at 87 high street directly across from Kineowatha park...has been CONSUMING my creative energy.

Check the website. ( link in bio)
I sent out several emails talking about closing the store. I've posted here on social media several times...so if you don't know this yet... you're going to have to go to the page and watch the video.😊🙃😉🎶

Please share so people aren't shocked.I've tried to tell as many people as possible in person.
This is a good thing!! I'm excited. It's bittersweet.
Life changes.
Move with it or get run down.
♥️🐝🥳🎂🎉✨️

Dear Friends,
A hard note to write...
From the very first day Vera’s Iron and Vine opened its doors, you showed up — with open hearts, open hands, and a shared love of creativity. What began as a dream grew into something truly special: a community hub, a sanctuary for artists, and a space where beauty, connection, and craftsmanship came alive. There has never been anything quite like it in our area. And that’s because of you.
Your support over the years — whether through kind words, purchases, collaborations, or simply wandering in to say hello — has meant the world to me. Together, we created a space filled with stories, laughter, music, art, and heart.
As life invites me into a new chapter, I’ve made the tender decision to close the store at the end of August. But before we do, I’d love to go out in true Iron and Vine fashion — with a big, beautiful celebration of everything this place has meant.
We will start with a 20% discount sale on select items starting August 1st to kick off the Wilton Blueberry Festival. The sale will continue through the third and fourth week of August.
During the third and fourth weeks of August, we’ll gather to honor the magic and the many hands that made this place what it is. More details to come — but know it will be two weekends of joy, memory, art, and community.
And this isn’t goodbye — not at all. You’ll still be able to find me just five doors up at 87 High Street in Wilton. My studio will be open on weekends for shopping, events like Second Saturdays, and special holiday gatherings.

Sign up for updates by adding your email to my list
More classes and expanded pottery studio hours are coming, and most days you’ll probably catch me in my coveralls, making something with my hands and dreaming up what’s next.
You can always reach me at (207) 418-0374 or by email at verajohnson@zoho.com. I’ll also keep hours posted at the studio so you can drop in and say hello.

Thank you, from the depths of my heart, for making Vera’s Iron and Vine not just a store, but a living, breathing creative home. I can’t wait to see you in August and again just up the street.

🐝🌻Also, just a note The farmer's market

🐝🌻Also, just a note The farmer's market

These are the FABULOUS results of testing glaze combinations, adding elements I've been playing around with, and just having fun.
I know that as an artist, "work" isn't about the end game. It's the process. If I'm not enjoying AND learning-what's the point?
As with any relationship-and the creative process IS relationship - with materials and the medium...WHAT is the point if not to grow?

🌺🌸🐞 Heading to the website (link in Bio) on July 31st 1pm. 🌻🐝🦉

There is nothing more vulnerable than creativity. . . It's not about winning. It's not about losing. It's about showing up and being seen.
