Discover the creative community at Clay Art Center over two days of open studios!

On July 18–19, 2026, the American Craft Council will launch National Craft Open Studios Weekend—a first-of-its-kind, nationwide celebration inviting the public into the creative spaces of more than 1,500 craft artists across the country. This two-day event will offer guests a rare glimpse into the processes, tools, and inspiration that shape how handmade works are made, and provide artists critical support in their sales season.

*Please note: Times and a complete list of events are still being finalized. Please check back for more details closer to the date.

Clay Art Center will participate in the national event with free events for the public including:

Guided Exhibition & Studio Tours (gallery, artist studios, firing facilities, classrooms)
Live demos on pottery wheels

This is a great opportunity to engage with the amazing creative clay community at Clay Art Center, and learn more about our events, programs, and impact.
