American Pottery Festival (APF) is Northern Clay Center’s biggest annual event and serves three key purposes: it is a fundraiser, an exhibition and sale, and an education conference.
As a fundraiser, APF supports NCC’s nonprofit mission to advance the ceramic arts through education, exhibitions, and artist support. As an exhibition and sale, it features over 1,400 ceramic works by 24 invited artists, with every purchase supporting both the artists and NCC. As an education conference, it offers hands-on workshops, demonstrations, and artist talks—both in person and online—welcoming students, educators, collectors, and clay lovers to learn, connect, and celebrate the ceramic arts. Each year has a theme, and 2025 is all about candy—expect a sweet, colorful celebration of clay! There is no admission fee for the weekend event: 10 am – 5 pm on Saturday, September 6, and 10 am – 3 pm on Sunday, September 7.
