You are invited!

Artworks in Big Rapids is proud to present the Third annual "Clay, Art and Fire" pottery fest to be held in downtown Big Rapids, Michigan, Saturday June 18th and Sunday June 19th, 2011. This is a free event open to the public and will include live demonstrations from over 15 nationally known premiere potters who will be traveling to Big Rapids from all over the United States.

Come enjoy the art of throwing, glazing and firing clay of all forms...funky, functional and decorative. Experience the process of 'raku' firing and watch as skilled potters and sculptors create thier magic before your eyes. Hey, Mom and Dad...don't leave those kids behind...we'll have hands on activities for them, too! Listen to local bands and taste the wares of many area food vendors. Peruse the potters merchant booths and take home a one of a kind piece from the only folk art & raku pottery festival to be held in the northern United States!

Glaze and Raku Fun!

If you feel like really getting into the spirit of CAF'11, swing by the glazing area and purchase an un-glaze piece of original pottery to Glaze and Raku fire yourself! You can take it home the same day, and all proceeds go to support Artworks of Big Rapids.

You can also feel free to bring your own un-glazed and bisque fired pottery to glaze and Raku free of charge!

Come join us!
