This annual Art Market invites regional artists to sell handmade artworks inspired by plants and sustainability. The market will feature a curated selection of unique pottery, original artworks, and prints, all available for purchase at The Cherry Building.
The Pots, Plants & Prints Artist Market is hosted by the ICCGS in conjunction with Cedar Rapids EcoFest, celebrating Earth Day.
Our STEAM classroom will be buzzing with creativity all day long. A series of artists will be demonstrating how they create their work through wheel throwing, handbuilding, and warm glass techniques. Stop in at different times to meet new artists, watch the process unfold, and ask questions about their artistic practice.
Gather around our Community Sculpture Table and help create a shared clay nature scene. Visitors of all ages are invited to add leaves, animals, textures, and natural forms to a collaborative landscape that grows throughout the day. Each contribution becomes part of a larger story shaped by many hands.
Come in to get a practice session on a ceramic wheel with one of our artists. We will center the clay for you, to learn the magic to creating a cylinder. This is all for fun!
If you’ve never tried the wheel before this is a great opportunity to try it out–we think you will be back for one of our Wheel Try It workshops next!
Come in to the historic Cherry Building and check out all of the artists we will have selling their work–with the highlight on ecology and nature.
Volunteers are essential to bringing this event to life! We’re seeking help with set-up and take-down, friendly greeters to welcome visitors, and volunteers to assist with hands-on activities, including wheel experiences and our community creation table
