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.
Juried Pottery Show and Sale
We have created a premier pottery event in the Franklin, North Carolina area. Ticket price is $5/person for a full day of events. Joe Frank McKee will entertain and amaze visitors with free demonstrations of his trash can raku techniques. You can actually purchase demonstration pieces right out of the kilns. You can reserve your tickets today at the ticket link.

Join the fun by voting on your favorite potter’s booth display, your favorite pottery, and your favorite potter. Cash awards will be granted to winning potters.
