Raising money for scholarships & studio needs

This twice-annual event in December and May is an important source of income for the Ceramics Program and the artists who take part in the event. 40% of each sale supports the studio, while 60% is retained by the artist.

🪴In addition to individual displays of ceramic artwork by each participating artist, you'll find a special display of one-of-a-kind ceramic planters made with care and donated by the artists. 100% of proceeds from these sales will go to fund scholarships to Ceramics Program courses and workshops.
