The Oregon Potters Association's Ceramic Showcase and the Gathering of the Guilds form one of Northwest's largest, unsurpassed art shows. More than 300 artists working in metals, glass, wood, beads, fibers, clays and glazes will be exhibiting their wares, doing demonstrations, offering youth activities and more during this unique and diverse three-day artisan show. In conjunction with the Oregon Potters Association’s Ceramic Showcase, the five Guilds participating in the show include the Creative Metal Arts Guild, Oregon Glass Guild, Guild of Oregon Woodworkers, Portland Bead Society and Portland Handweavers Guild.
The annual Ceramic Showcase is one of the nation's largest all-ceramic shows. In 1983, Ceramic Showcase started with over 70 Oregon Potters Association members; this year, they're featuring 200, including some of the original founders and today’s emerging artists. Join in for this 3-day event. Special highlights include a 40th Founders Gallery, a silent auction of work by Ellen Currans, and drawings for 3 grand prize packages.
