Holiday Exhibition

NOVEMBER 19 – DECEMBER 30, 2017
Main Gallery, Sales Gallery


Opening reception: Sunday, November 19, 12 – 4 pm
Sign up to volunteer at the Holiday Open House here.

You always have opportunities to utilize ceramic art in your daily life, but it’s especially true during these last few months of the year. Enjoy serving trays and bowls for your own dinner table. Share a mug & your favorite cider recipe with someone in your life who deserves a warm thank you. Take the time to choose a memorable gift for the friend or loved one who is traditionally impossible to impress and will now smile whenever they think of you.

We can help you choose the perfect present, giftwrap for you, and even ship!
