Everything You Need to Know About the Upcoming Pottery Show
Show Details
Warwick Pottery is pleased to introduce Earth, Wind, Water, and Fire: Embrace the Elements, our 4th Annual Pottery Show & Sale! The show will take place on Sunday, December 8 from 10AM to 4PM at the Doc Fry Community Center.
Students: Setup & Participation
The setup will take place on December 7. Vendor participation is only open to currently enrolled students of Warwick Pottery. Tables are $45.00 per student. If you’d like to sign up please visit our signup page.
Firing Schedule
BISQUE FIRING DEADLINE: No bisque firing of work beyond the first week of November 2024.
GLAZE FIRING DEADLINE: If the volume of “to be glazed” work is too great for our kiln at the community center, everyone will be invited to glaze fire at my home studio. If this occurs, providing your bisque or fired cookies is helpful. Re-fires of glazed work will be done after the initial firing of work for the show is finished. Our deepest gratitude to the generous potters who offered to fire their work in their home kilns during this hectic time. I remain in awe of your generosity.
Table Guidelines
Table Size and Shape: All participants will have the same table size, space, and shape (rectangular).
Space Usage: Please do not use space beyond, behind, or in front of your table (like sills, ledges, or wall spaces). Space under your table can be used as you like.
Storage: Limited storage is available for empty containers in a room downstairs.
Seating: Two chairs will be provided per table, all the same height. Unless it is a medical need we hope everyone will sit at the same level behind their tables.
Table Placement: The placement of tables is solely Marilyn’s responsibility. Thank you for respecting this and trusting us to do our best to showcase everyone’s work.
Electrical Outlets: We cannot guarantee access to electrical outlets. Please ensure electronics are wireless and/or run on batteries.
Call for Volunteers: Join Our Shot Committees!
We are looking for volunteers for various committees to help set up and break down the show. If your significant others, friends, or people in your circle would like to give a helping hand, please let us know! Please note that you will be in charge of them after instructions are given.
