ClayFest 2025 - National Park Road Trip - July 2025
As part of this year's overarching theme, "Explore," this year’s ClayFest theme is “National Park Road Trip,” We’re asking artists to reflect on the majestic diversity of parks—from the soaring peaks of Yosemite to the ancient canyons of Zion, the geysers of Yellowstone to the quiet beauty of the Great Smoky Mountains. Whether you're inspired by the sweeping vistas, unique flora and fauna, or the personal experiences of traveling through these sacred spaces, we encourage you to explore and create work that transports viewers to the heart of America's wild places.
We’ll have workshops geared towards all different skill levels and a ClayFest Marketplace.
Stay tuned for more details!
