Winter Exhibition

Winter is the perfect season to share the joy of handmade ceramics with the people you love. This year our Winter Exhibition brings together more than 1,000 new pots, sculptures, and jewelry from artists near and far, making it easy to find something special for everyone on your list, and maybe a little something for yourself, too.

Shop one-of-a-kind work by local makers alongside artists from across the country, representing a wide range of voices, perspectives, and approaches to clay. From thoughtful gifts to pieces you’ll want to bring home for yourself, there’s plenty to discover. And with every purchase, you’re supporting the artists who made the work and helping sustain Northern Clay Center’s nonprofit programs. Come browse, get inspired, and make your holiday shopping a little more meaningful.

We are excited to welcome special 2026 Winter Exhibition guest artists:
María Albornoz, Sara Alfieri, Kurt Anderson, Marie Brown, Ray Brown, Asta Bubliene, Marissa Childers, Celia Feldberg, Stephen Heywood, Dane Hodges, Erica Iman, Samuel Johnson, Bri Larson, Suze Lindsay, Andrew McIntyre, Mathew Meunier, Rachelle Miller, Taylor Mezo, KyoungHwa Oh, Sam Oliver, Lindsay Rogers, Sam Thompson, Steven Young Lee.

We’re here to make your holiday shopping a breeze. Let us help you pick the perfect present, gift wrap it and even ship it for you. Need extra convenience? We’re happy to bring your order right out to your car!
