2023 Events

The inaugural meetup of the Madison Area Potters Guild was held at the Fitchburg Public Library. Interested members brought a favorite item for Show & Tell, and an additional item for a white elephant style gift swap.

We listened to a panel discussion on home studio set up, supplies, and ideas, and had time for networking and studio brainstorming.

The June topic covered selling online to selling more generally, discussing the variety of ways that potters sell their work, including outside art fairs, inside art shows, art tours, home shows, galleries, online, and wholesale.

Guest presenters shared info on photography, including branding and photo styling, tips for photo set-up space, light boxes, light and reflection, and much more.

This was a Show & Tell! Members and guests brought their favorite ceramic piece – or a photo of the piece – to share what they love about it.

Juried members of the Guild sold their work at the 2023 Art Fair on the Square in Madison, WI. 

Members of the Guild volunteered at the Clay Day and Pottery Festival, July 15, 2023 in Edgerton, WI. Volunteers assisted hand-builders and helped guests throw a pot on the wheel.

Juried members of the Guild sold their work in September, 2023 at Paoli Art in the Park. 

Several members took part in the “Eye Candy & Cake” show during the month of November at Higher Fire Gallery in Madison.
