A HUGE THANK YOU!

SPPM 2025 was an amazing show!

To our clay supporters: It's every maker's hope that through the work meaningful connections are made. After a year's absence, 2025 felt like a family reunion. Thanks for the conversations, your support and enthusiasm. 

To our fellow clay artists: Strolling through the show on a busy but more casual Sunday, it's inspiring to see the work we're all doing: the lively curiosity for new pots and sculpture, new glazing and new riffs on familiar forms. It's a pleasure to share the weekend with you.

To our volunteers: Each year SPPM tries to improve the experience that our audience and exhibitors have during the weekend. Thanks for attending to the new offerings we introduced this year to make that happen. More than attending to the tasks, thanks for adding your energetic spirit to the show.

Thank you EVERYONE for your continued support, encouragement, and enthusiasm!

SAVE THE DATE! Our 2026 show will take place on October 10th and 11th.

 
 

“The Spruce Pine Potters Market is unique because of the extraordinary quality of the work produced by its members. Individually, these artists are some of the finest craftsmen in the country. Collectively, they bring their high standards, imagination and camaraderie to producing the show.”

-Jenny Lou Sherburne, SPPM Member
