About the Show

Each year the artists, potters and sculptors of MudFire come together for a huge group exhibit and sale, with over 100 artists participating. Gift certificates for studio membership and pottery lessons are also available.

The artists will have been working for months to create unique, handmade gift items at a variety of price points. The range of work will be unbelievable. The participating artists include the full-time, professional ceramicists that MudFire represents year round, special guest artists invited from around the Southeast, and the loving creations of our studio members and staff.

MudFire Clayworks is a creative playspace for over 120 Atlanta area potters and clay artists. Studio members come from all walks of life . . . many enjoy "clay therapy" as a relaxing hobby, while others are intent on building a career in ceramics. The annual MudFire Holiday Studio Sale offers Atlantans the opportunity to give truly memorable and unique gifts this holiday season, while supporting and encouraging emerging artists in our community.

"The potters and sculptors of MudFire create hundreds of works of art, both functional and decorative, for the show," comments gallery manager Erik Haagensen. "The results are amazing, a breath taking array of finely crafted works in all different styles. For the holidays this year, skip the mall, support your local artists, and give gifts that are affordably priced and utterly unique. And don't miss the party!"
