What is Tour de Clay?

Tour de Clay is an annual event, a self-guided tour featuring various Tampa Bay area clay studios and the creative work of an impressive list of clay artists. 

To make it easy for you to plan, Tour de Clay is always the second weekend in December. Each year features the work from core members as well as clay works from a variety of guest artists.
Each year great care is taken to bring new artists with fresh new clay works to the Tampa Bay Area just for this event. The complete list of participating artist is usually announced on our website by August.

2024 - Saturday 9am to 5pm  -  This day will be dedicated to  progressive studio presentations, which may include pottery demonstrations, viewing and discussing some of the most recent pieces out of the kiln, or general discussions about the potters found at each studio location as well as a bit about their individual creations.

2024 - Sunday 11am to 4pm - The tour continues, those who have traveled to see all the studios often choose to return to the studios featuring work they would like to add to their own collection or perhaps purchase a piece for a holiday gift.

If there are drawings to support local charities, they generally happen at 4pm on Sunday, so if you have a chance to win something, you might want to plan a return for this part of the event.

Kiln openings, demonstrations, and studio presentations normally take place on Saturday at each of the area studios featured on the Tour and are timed so attendees can make it to each of the studios for their studio presentations.
Pat Viella (Plymouth, Massachusetts), is a regular attendee and helper at the Pottery Boys Studio in Palm Harbor. Here she is shown helping Glenn Woods pull one of the winning tickets - all proceeds go to support local charities.
