A Seattle-Wide celebration of community clay studios

Saturday October 3rd, 2026 (North Seattle studios) &
Saturday October 10th, 2026 (South Seattle studios)

The Clay Crawl is sponsored by the Washington Clay Arts Association (WCA), a statewide organization that promotes clay arts and supports ceramic artists. Studios throughout South Seattle will participate in a day of demonstrations, sales, and community engagement, offering the public a chance to explore and support local ceramic artists.

This is a self-directed vending opportunity. This is open to current RCS Members and Staff. Participants are responsible for their own sales, setup, and promotion. The participation fee supports studio organization, access to shared facilities (including bathrooms), use of a beautiful and well-maintained exhibition space, and event-wide promotion coordinated by RCC, RCS, and WCA.
