Demonstrations! Visitors are invited to observe demonstrations in wheel throwing, sculpture, raku firing, hand building and surface decoration techniques throughout the weekend. Watch and learn the ceramic techniques that artists use to shape and decorate their work. Questions and feedback are encouraged and the friendly atmosphere is a hallmark of the festival.
Silent Auction! Clay work donated by participating artists will be included in a silent auction that takes place on both days of the event. Auction proceeds are used to help potters in need, award clay related scholarships, and fund festival events. Auction bids are final on Saturday at 3:00 pm and Sunday at 2:00 pm.
