Spectators and Potters, welcome to the Pottery Olympics — a gloriously muddy celebration of clay, creativity, chaos, and questionable ceramic decisions. Participants will compete in a series of wheel throwing, handbuilding, and team challenges ranging from impressive feats of craftsmanship to completely ridiculous games of skill.
