We are excited to share our exhibit — Practice/Progress/Play — and host an Open House during NCECA 2026. The exhibition brings together the work of students and members at Sugar Hill Clay, valuing early efforts as much as polished results. Together, these works make visible the learning process — how repetition, persistence, curiosity, and experimentation transform not only the clay but the maker — and our goal for sustaining a practice that evolves.
Stop by during our open house hours and say hello! All are welcome. Join us for a closing reception on Friday night from 6-9p, purchase a handmade tumbler and fill it with your beverage of choice, and meet new friends!
Open House Hours:
Wed., Mar. 25, 10a-5p
Thurs., Mar. 26, 5-8p
Fri., Mar. 27, 12-3p
Reception Hours:
