A Celebration of Accessible Art, Creativity & Community

The First Annual Dam Pottery Throwdown is more than a competition -- it's a celebration of the idea that art is for everyone. Hosted by Art on the Town Wisconsin and the Dodge County Center for the Arts, this lively event brings together artists of all backgrounds and experience levels to share creativity, collaboration, and fun through Clay.

 

From live pottery and ceramic hand-building competitions to juried ceramic gallery exhibitions, the Dam Pottery Throwdown is designed to make art approachable, exciting, and inclusive for our entire community.

Pottery Throwdown Competitions

The Pottery Throwdown invites artists to step up to the wheel or the work table in a welcoming, high-energy environment where creativity takes center stage.

 

This isn't about perfection -- it's about expression, connection and the joy of making together.
