since 1975
Welcome! This year is the 36th Annual Clayfolk Show and Sale. The show will be held at the Medford Armory on November 18th through the 20th. Over 65 artists will be showing their wares. As the show is a few weeks before the holidays, it is the perfect place to pick out gifts. From large to small, functional to sculptural, for the home or garden-there is something for everyone at the show. Baskets are provided to help you carry your treasures, and a number of holding tables will be placed throughout the show to hold pieces too large to carry.
Friday at 4PM is our opening night. Live music in the form of a wonderful duo, Southern Oregon Little Big Band, will be played and light refreshments will be available.
Saturday and Sunday there is a supervised Kids Clay area where participating artists will share their love and knowledge with kids of all ages. The Kids Clay area is open from 10AM to 5PM on Saturday, as well as Sunday from 10AM to 3PM. This is a great chance to see if there is a budding ceramic artist just waiting to express themselves in clay!
Saturday and Sunday visitors will, also, have the opportunity to watch participating artists demonstrate hand building, throwing and sculpting. This is a wonderful chance to ask questions, take notes, and enjoy the creative process. Sunday afternoon will culminate with potters collaborating using some of the demo pieces to make new forms by cutting, re-attaching and adding details. This is a time artists will push the envelope with their spontaneous show of creativity.
On Sunday, also, there will be an hourly drawing for a $25 certificate to be used towards Clayfolk purchases. This year promises to be another great year and we hope to see you at our show.
