Bottoms Up!
Call for Entries  •  Due Nov. 4, 2022

Apply now!

For District Clay's Fall 2022 juried show, we want to see your bottoms! Don't be shy - we want to see how you shape and decorate the underside of your pottery. Current District Clay artists, students, and teachers are encouraged to submit pottery created with special attention paid to the pot's foot, or bottom. Submissions may include any form of pottery you'd like, including vases, cups, bowls, teapots, and more.

Important: pieces in the show will be displayed upside-down, or "bottoms up", to better display the pieces' feet. Consider how this display might affect your design for your piece - could this affect how you shape your rim, place your handles, or decorate the piece? We're excited to find out!

Prizes will be awarded for Best in Show, Best Painterly Foot, and Best Sculptural Foot.

To apply, you must be a current DCC artist, student or teacher. Submissions may include any pot made at District Clay Center, with special attention given to the foot.
