“It’s a great opportunity to see what the ceramics classes are up to and to do gift shopping early,” said Gallery Director Mary Oliver.
The ceramic department will be featuring its ceramic and chili bowl sale at the festival where visitors can buy a chili bowl, handmade by Pierce students, filled with chili.
The festival’s artist marketplace will also have pieces of art to buy and will feature glass artists and various craft artists.
