UPCOMING SHOWS
Dear friends and Nanten Pottery fans,
We are excited about the upcoming 2023 art-fair season! Be sure to view our schedule below and mark your calendars...we would love to see you! For those of you who can't make it to a fair or wished you had taken home a special piece you saw somewhere, we will do our best to make our pots available on Etsy in between art fairs. Our shop link is www.Etsy.com/shop/NantenPottery, and make sure to follow us on Instagram to see our process, bisqueware, and newest finished pots: www.Instagram.com/NantenPottery.
Blessings to you and your family, and we hope to see you happy and healthy this year, next year, or virtually!
