The Ceramic Showcase offers 1 hour long captivating ceramic demonstrations that provide an up-close look at the artistry and techniques behind creating with clay.
Held on the Demo Stage, these live demonstrations feature skilled artists showcasing a variety of techniques, including wheel-throwing, hand-building, sculpting, and surface decoration.
Visitors can watch raw clay transform into intricate pottery, gaining insight into the tools, processes, and creativity behind ceramic art. These sessions offer an inspiring glimpse into the craftsmanship that defines the ceramic community.
Demonstration schedule will be posted before the Ceramic Showcase weekend. Check out previous years' demonstrations on our YouTube channel.
