The Tenth Annual Pottery Festival

About the performance

Labor Day Weekend:

Saturday, Sept 5th 11 AM to 5 PM

Sunday, Sept 6th 11 AM to 4 PM

The 10^th Annual Pottery Festival at Sugar Maples Center for Creative Arts, a program of Catskill Mountain Foundation brings our community together to celebrate the art of functional and sculptural ceramics. This year’s festival features 10 talented local potters, which includes 5 of our own weekly faculty members, joined alongside 6 professional, regional artists. More than just a showcase of exceptional craftsmanship, this event forms an essential thread in the cultural fabric of our region. Artists and visitors connect, sharing techniques, ideas and supporting local creative traditions in a beautiful natural environment. The festival is a vibrant space that reinforces the Catskills as a thriving hub for art, community, and education.

Julia Thornton, owner and founder of Cider House Coffee, a café located in Hudson Valley, will be on hand to provide outstanding beverages and baked goods. Julia is a fifth-generation member of the Soons family, whose apple orchard has been a mainstay of the region since 1910. Visitors will be kept refreshed with specialty coffee, matcha drinks made with locally roasted beans, local milk, house-made syrups, farm-fresh ingredients, and house-made bagels, breakfast sandwiches, and more created by Emily Dorfman, a graduate of the Culinary Institute of America with experience as pastry chef for the Four Seasons.

Neal Spitzer and his band will be providing music. This extraordinary trio features Corey Glover from Living Color.  Woodstock based jazz musician, Spitzer plays saxophone for The Soul Experience.
