In its 41st year, the Oregon Potters Association invites the public to a free ceramic showcase.

The association represents a group of diverse ceramic artists, makers, teachers and students. At the annual event, the members bring their creations under one roof for the whole community to enjoy.

The three-day event showcases 200 ceramic artists from Oregon and SW Washington. If you love seeing creativity on display, stop by the ceramic showcase.

The 2024 ceramic showcase is taking over the Oregon Convention Center from Friday, April 19, through Sunday, April 21. Get up close and take in the details of many ceramic creations, including sculptures, wall art, and functional pottery for the home, garden, and workspace.

This is a great place to pick up a gift for a special occasion or find a one-of-a-kind creation for yourself.

Here are some of the highlights of this year’s event:

Daily demonstrations by professional ceramic artists.
An emerging artist booth for up-and-coming members.
Clay exploration area for children.
The high school gallery displays student clay works from area schools.
