Winterfest 2026
At the heart of Winterfest is our invitational exhibition, which highlights the breadth, innovation, and craftsmanship shaping ceramics today. This year’s exhibition features work by 17 nationally recognized artists, representing a wide range of perspectives, regions, and approaches to functional ceramics.

Complementing the invitational exhibition is the Winterfest Holiday Market, a warm and lively showcase of work by Baltimore Clayworks’ resident, teaching, and associated artists.

All items are available for immediate purchase and can be taken home the same day.
