CLAYFEST

Our history

Clayfest is a non-profit, local arts education and awareness event

Clayfest is a non-profit, local arts education and awareness event

Once upon a time a potter joined the Business of Art Center (now the Manitou Art Center) fresh out of college... From an offhand remark to the director-- "wouldn't it be cool to hold a pottery olympics"-- Clayfest was born. Our Potters' games haven't been seen in 16 years and we would like to change that. We will still hold our teaching events and will add the competitions on October 1st. Prizes will be given AND FUN WILL BE HAD...
