UPCOMING SHOWS
Dear friends and Nanten Pottery fans,
We hope this finds you and your families well during this strange and difficult time. With the COVID-19 atmosphere, we cannot know when restrictions will be imposed or lifted, so we are going ahead with the planning of our in-person Utsuwa Matsuri (open house). Below are the details we are planning at the moment, and it will be updated whenever changes are made. We hope to see you at our open house, but we understand if you feel this is not a possibility!
Blessings to you and your family, and we hope to see you happy and healthy this year, next year, or virtually!
