The Heartland Table

The Heartland Table is a showcase and sale of pots from many of the mid-country's finest potters producing tableware. Along with cooking demonstrations featuring Cook on Clay flameware pots, guests will enjoy a tasting menu created by six Kansas City chefs, paired with artisanal spirits and locally brewed beer.

Held at Tom's Town Distilling in the Crossroads Arts District at 1701 Main St, a 5 minute walk from the convention center and presented as a pre-conference event for the 50th annual National Conference on Education for the Ceramic Arts.

The Heartland Table is produced by Cook on Clay, Studio Potter journal and media sponsor, FEAST magazine in collaboration with Across the Table, Across the Land.

Join us for a remarkable evening of art for food, food as art, and the finest of Kansas City's bounty, regional beers, and artisanal spirits.

This trend-setting event brings the quality and intention of regional pots and potters, local farms and chefs, and home-town craft cocktails and beer to the public directly from the hands of the makers.
