FREE SHOW AND SALE – NOVEMBER 11-13, 2022
Pottery on the Hill returns finally back in person for 2022 for the first time in 2 years! This year, we welcome four new potters to our Pottery on the Hill family: Danielle Carelock, Peter Jadoonath, Reiko Miyagi, and David Stuempfle, while welcoming back so many friends from previous shows.

Pottery on the Hill is a weekend celebrating functional pottery (that which can be regularly used, such as dinnerware, drinkware, vases, platters, and more) featuring top ceramic artists from across the country. Avid ceramics fans will love the chance to talk with the potters in an casual, fun environment and continuing to grow their collections. For those who might just love the pottery, this is a great opportunity to get a jumpstart on shopping for the holidays, giving the special people in your life a gift as unique and on-of-a-kind as they are.
