Clay Arts Confluence
May 23, 24, 25 - 10am-4pm Daily

3353 E. Hwy. 4
Murphys, CA
(3.5 miles from Murphys stoplight)

Join the clay community at the Clay Arts Confluence at Quyle Kilns the weekend of May 23, 24, 25 from 10am to 5pm daily.

Around 15 artists who are experts in their craft will demonstrate skills like how to mix colored clays to create marble-patterned agateware, work with paper clay, build slab sculptures, create flutter bowls, throw tall vessels and closed vessels, design mosaics, and more. Food will be available for a donation.

Each day will feature a fun pottery throwdown for potters with experience. There will be 10 wheels on the studio deck, and several contests. In one, participants will be blindfolded to see how well they can throw by touch. In another, potters will create as many pots that are consistent in size and shape as they can “off the hump”—a big block of clay centered on a wheel—in 15 minutes.

For beginners, there will be several projects to explore, from trying your hand at a mini wheel, decorating pots for a raku firing, or participating in a mosaic project. There will be sign up sheets at the event; all projects are first come, first serve.

The Confluence is totally free to attend!

34rd Annual
Festival of Trees
San Joaquin County Historical Museum
First weekend in December
11793 N. Micke Grove Road
Lodi, CA 95240

SJPG Will Be Participating with a Tree in 2026

Tree Theme:  Tea or Coffee Cups
(Small enough to hang on the tree.  If slab made, be sure to add a hole for hanging.)

It’s not to early to think about making Christmas ornaments for the 2026 Festival of Trees.  The San Joaquin Potters Guild hopes to be able to have a tree at this annual event with ornaments made of clay and glass.  If you are interested in working on a committee to get SJPG project idea off the ground, please send an e-mail to our President , Julienne “Puka” Pin and let her know, at  puka.tutis@gmail.com
