Whether you are looking for a functional piece or that perfect eye-grabber for that newly decorated room, this event is sure to have it.
While there will be no shortage of pottery on display, this event also features a number of other artistic forms.
The event runs from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. at the Celista Hall, July 20 and 21.
