The Pittsburgh Potters Tour offers the public an up-close, in-person chance to admire, learn about, and support the work of over 60 local ceramic artists!

On the weekend of September 20 – 21, from 11am – 5pm each day, 24 unique ceramic studios located all throughout the city will invite visitors to see behind the scenes, discover their creative processes, and explore the immense variety and creativity Pittsburgh’s clay community has to offer…

Many studios invite guest artists to join them; some offer demonstrations and hands-on activities. Visitors of all ages are invited to come learn, shop, and connect with our vibrant community of local artists.
