POSTPONED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE

Arrowmont School of Arts and Crafts will host the eighth Utilitarian Clay VIII Symposium from September 9-12, 2020. Held every four years since 1992, Arrowmont’s Utilitarian Clay Symposium enjoys a national reputation within the ceramics community. Celebrating and appreciating the limitless interpretations of the utilitarian clay object, the Symposium attracts those who are interested in the practical concerns with making functional objects and the more theoretical issues related to the field. The Symposium, limited to only 200 attendees provides an intimate atmosphere for meaningful and on-going dialogue, in-depth conversations, great food and social activities.​ Utilitarian Clay VIII was co-organized by Nick DeFord, Arrowmont program director, and Kansas City potter, Chandra DeBuse.
