Our Mission

Verde Valley Pottery Festival is a collective of Arizona-Connected potters committed to expanding the reach and increasing the understanding of contemporary studio pottery through Demonstrations, public lectures, and Artist Displays.

Join us for the second annual Verde Valley Pottery Festival, November 18 – 19, 2023. This two-day event is a mindfully-forged platform to bring together makers, clay enthusiasts, learners, collectors, and the simply curious to build community and be inspired.

Ceramic artists across Arizona and beyond will converge in beautiful Camp Verde to offer their wares and share glimpses of their studio practice, focusing on critical insight and technical information.

The richness of experience, knowledge, and generosity represented by 2023’s artists will provide learning opportunities for everyone, from students to collectors to fellow makers. The weekend is filled with opportunities to engage directly with artists during image presentations, demonstrations, discussions, and hopefully, casual pottery chats.
