Visit the Calapooia Clay Pottery Studio for a fabulous Cinco de Mayo sale event!
There will be a variety of pottery for sale by several artists who work in the studio, including work by the owner, Ed Sweet.  There will be functional ware for sale like mugs, bowls, plates, vases, etc. Plus there will be decorative work and art pieces for sale.
During the sale a couple pottery wheels will be available for customers to try their hand at throwing a pot. Who knows, you just might be a potter and you didn’t know it!

This is an one day event to highlight some talented people in Albany.  There will be artists demonstrating their crafts or just selling their works at various locations in the downtown area.  Stroll through the Monteith district to discover these treasures.  Be prepared to be dazzled and surprised by all the creativity right here in Albany.
