Mingle and meet the artists

Enjoy a wonderful evening of hors d'oeuvres and mingle with the artists. Kicking off the festival, our professional potters will be exhibiting their finest pieces in a special showing at the Cowee School on Friday evening. You’re given the opportunity to purchase some of the finest work from a variety of professional potters from near and far. The Master Potters' Exhibit will remain open during the duration of the show but our Mingle event is on Friday evening only. Tickets $15/person.
