A Little History: Since the inception of Salad Bowl, the event has grown substantially to support general programming and operations at Pottery Northwest, as well as awarded studio space, annual firing/material stipends, and up to $10,000 in grants for resident artists. For our 50th anniversary, in 2016 we introduced ClayFest Northwest. This celebration of our history launched us into the future with incredible energy. The success of the event encouraged us to continue ClayFest Northwest as an annual event, with an invitational exhibition of ceramics and a weekend of workshops with leaders of the ceramics community.
