Join us Oct 10, 2026 (12:00-5:00pm) for a once-a-year opportunity to visit, tour, and enjoy the Hambidge campus. Festivities will include open studios, art-making, homegrown food, musical performances, gallery sales, and more as we honor Master Potter Ben Owen III.

Tour our open studios for an intimate peek into the creative process of our artists-in-residence—Kris Grenier, Jordan Reynolds, Chris Childs, Jason Lord, Skye Jalal, and Mark Leibert— featuring work in photography, music composition, filmmaking, fiber and illustrative installation. Highlights of the day will include OkCello performing on the main stage, the Hambidge Anagama kiln in action, an interactive clay experience with ceramic artist Tiffany Thomas,  a half-day weaving workshop with Angela Eastman, our 2nd annual cornbread competition, and of course our beloved U-Do-Raku.
