ACGA Main

THE 28th ANNUAL CLAY AND GLASS FESTIVAL

It is with great regret that the ACGA board of directors announces the cancellation of the ACGA Clay and Glass Festival in Palo Alto for 2020. The uncertainty of the COVID-19 pandemic and the ongoing ban on large gatherings were the driving factors behind this decision.

It is our intention that the festival return to Palo Alto on July 10-11, 2021, and we look forward to seeing you all then.

We encourage you to continue to support ACGA clay and glass artists by checking in with your favorite artists through their websites or on social media, and keeping a lookout for online sales and show venues at ACGA.net.

Be safe, be well, and we will see you in 2021.

ACGA ARTIST OF THE MONTH – MIKI SHIM-RUTTER

“Shim-Rutter’s decorative functional pottery has become recognizable by its beautiful surface detail, sensitivity to lightness and proportion, and respect for the Earth and materials drawn from it. Her teapots, tea bowls, jars and trays demonstrate a mastery of not only individual forms but of a holistic approach to the human experience of drinking tea.”
