From: Orlando Pottery FestivalOrlando Pottery Festival and Holiday Arts Market
The Orlando Pottery Festival and Holiday Arts Market is Central Florida's largest winter celebration and market of ceramic art—featuring 50+ talented local artists, including highly regarded professional potters who exhibit in galleries and juried art festivals throughout the South; mid-career artists whose distinctive designs and signature items are fast becoming contemporary collectibles; longtime "hobby potters" who are channeling their creativity while mastering their craft in local pottery studios; and younger and emerging ceramic artists, several of whom are selling to the public for the first time.
This year, our Holiday Arts Market features artist vendors from coast to coast—Tampa to New Smyrna Beach, and as far north as Jacksonville-in addition to all our many potters living and working in the greater Orlando area!
Join us at the Florida Army National Guard Armory to meet these artists and shop the wide range of their handmade functional and decorative work, such as original everyday dishware, elegant ceramic jewelry, sculptural and figurative work inspired by Florida's flora and fauna, whimsical and practical home and garden decor, and much more-all created on the pottery wheel or using hand-built and slip-cast techniques.
Returning visitors know that the Orlando Pottery Festival's twice-annual events-the two-day weekend festival during the winter holiday season and the one-day spring festival—are the best way to get "first dibs" on the most recent work from favorite local potters and to meet the new artist vendors making their Orlando Pottery Festival debuts. The Orlando Pottery Festival's growth and variety of artistic work makes for events that reflect the vibrancy and diversity of handmade ceramics.
The Orlando Pottery Festival and Holiday Arts Market is a family-friendly event for all ages; free admission, free parking.
