The American Pottery Festival is Northern Clay Center’s annual fundraiser. All contributions support NCC’s mission of advancement of the ceramic arts for artists, learners, and the community through education, exhibitions, scholarships, and grant programs. It serves as a mindfully-forged platform to bring together makers, clay lovers, learners, collectors, and simply the curious, to play and be inspired.
