 We are sponsoring a potters only (clay people) fest in beautiful Justus Park, located on the banks of the pristine Allegheny River.  

This get-together will be an annual event, and we plan on having several well-known potters from around the country.  We are planning various demonstrations and will have the entire park for you to set up and sell your wares.  (15' x 15' spaces).  

Booth fees will be low ($25.00) and the fun will be huge.  Plan your schedule to attend this inaugural event that we believe is the first in the country.


There will be pottery sales, auction, demonstrations, and exchanging of ideas and techniques.  Whether you're a polished pro or just beginning, this will be an event not to be missed in 2011.


Several manufacturers of pottery materials and supplies will be in attendance.


Buyers and collectors of studio pottery will also be in attendance.
