Tour De Clay Of Tampa Bay 2010
December 11 & 12, 2010 10AM - 5PM
Pottery Tour Returns to Palm Harbor
Second Annual Tour De Clay
Back by popular demand, the artists of Florida Westcoast Ceramic Society are bringing back the Tour De Clay of Tampa Bay.
Those who have a passion for hand crafted pottery will want to mark their calendars for Saturday, December 11th and Sunday, December 12th.
The second annual pottery studio tour “Tour De Clay of Tampa Bay” is featuring 4 working pottery studios: 2 studios in Palm Harbor; 1 in Tampa; and 1 in San Antonio. The tour will feature 12 Bay Area clay artists who will all be present at the various studios throughout the Tampa Bay area to discuss their works and answer your questions. The studios will be open to the public free of charge on both days from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. so you will want to plan your trip to take in all 4 stops.
Due to the popularity of the kiln openings last year, this year every studio will have kiln openings on Saturday, December 11th. The kiln openings will begin in the Palm Harbor studios followed by the Tampa studio with the finale at the San Antonio studio. The kiln openings are staggered every 2 hours on Saturday so you can experience the kiln openings in all 4 studios.
All of the kiln openings are scheduled for Saturday, December 11th. The first kiln opening will happen at 10:00 a.m. at the Pottery Boys Studio location (30 Bogie Lane, Palm Harbor, FL). The second kiln opening will happen at noon at the Paper and Clay studio location (110 Peterson Lane, Palm Harbor, FL) The third kiln opening will happen at 2:00 p.m. at the Rising Sun Pottery studio location (1112 West Carmen Street, Tampa, FL) Last, but certainly not least, the final kiln opening will happen at 4:00 p.m. at the San Antonio Pottery studio location (11903 Curley Road, San Antonio, FL). And if that was not enough excitement, pottery demonstrations are planned to take place at each studio throughout Saturday and Sunday.
Tour De Clay is sponsored by the Florida West Coast Ceramic Society, established in 2007. This Ceramic Society was formed by a group of clay artists and potters who share an intense passion for ceramics; a passion reflected both in the works they produce and in their deep appreciation for ceramic arts. They are excited to host its second annual exhibition featuring the ceramic work of twelve artists. Potters from Hillsborough, Pasco, Hernando, and Pinellas counties will participate in the Tour De Clay. Throughout this tour you will find work such as: bowls, cups, plates, vases, teapots, and other decorative or functional ware.
