Sponsor Mother of All Pottery Sales 2024

Union Project will hold our annual Mother of All Pottery Sales on Saturday, May 11, 2024.

We bring together artists from throughout Western Pennsylvania to display and sell their work, present live demonstrations, and provide hands-on clay activities. This event unites ceramic artists and lovers, promotes locally made ceramics, and shares clay education. Attendance is approx. 1,000 people.

This family-friendly celebration of clay is made possible by generous community and corporate support.

Sponsorship Makes An Impact

• $500 provides art educators for the event, offering hands-on clay activities so that everyone can have a tactile experience.
• $1,000 supports demonstrating artists, purchasing materials and providing a stipend for the master potter (or potters) to share their skills during the event.
• $2,500 sponsors the promotion of the event, providing marketing support to all participating artists and helping to cultivate a community of both art lovers and buyers, resulting in greater community wealth.

Terra Cotta ($500)	Stoneware ($1000)
An earthenware clay body, terra-cotta is rich in iron, which creates vibrant oranges and reds.	Stoneware clay is one of the most popular and widely used clay bodies. Strong and versatile, stoneware works well for everything from functional pottery to sculptures – and comes in a variety of beautiful, earthy colors

Porcelain ($2500)	Raku ($5000)
Porcelain clay is an incredibly smooth and soft clay body. While it is a little more challenging to work with, in the right hands, it transforms into delicate, luxurious forms.	Raku firing is a bold and dramatic way to fire pottery. Pieces are taken out of the kiln glowing hot and placed in combustible material that instantly ignites. The finished work often has bright flashes of blues, reds, and copper.
