Cracked Pot Studio Tour

The annual Cracked Pot Studio Tour, running Friday (Sept. 20) through Sunday (Sept. 22), offers Greater Lansing residents an opportunity to tour private pottery and ceramics studios, view and purchase the work of more than 50 Michigan artists and meet many of those artists along the way.

Back by popular demand, the weekend will begin with the Cracked Pot Throwdown 5:30 p.m. Friday at Art Unlimited in Okemos. The public is invited to watch as Cracked Pot artists compete in three unconventional pottery challenges. Refreshments will be provided.

Saturday and Sunday, nine artist studios throughout Greater Lansing will be open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. for a self-guided driving tour. In addition to art displays, each studio will offer pottery or ceramics demonstrations, including wheel throwing, pinching, raku firing, tile making and pine needle weaving.

All events are free, and no registration is required. Visit crackedpotstudiotour.com for more information, including a map of studio locations and a list of participating artists.
