Pottery Invitational Set for This Weekend at Worcester Center for Crafts
Thursday, May 12, 2016
"The Pottery Invitational is part of Worcester's creative economy. It markets the work of artists who sell their work. People come from far and wide, stay in hotels and eat in local restaurants, and we move closer to our mission -- sustaining crafts as an important part of our community and society," said Honee Hess, executive director of the Crafts Center.
The Artists
This year's show will also include demonstrations by artists on the making ceramics and by a local flower arranger and a chef on using handmade pottery in everyday life.
