13th Annual Durham Pottery Tour (Nov 14, 2026)

Name: 13th Annual Durham Pottery Tour
Start: 2026-11-14T15:00:00.000Z
End: 2026-11-14T22:00:00.000Z
Location: More than twenty pottery studios across Durham

The 13th Annual Durham Pottery Tour is a self-guided weekend event where local ceramic artists open their private workspaces to the public. Visitors can meet the makers, view demonstrations, and purchase handmade mugs, bowls, and sculptural pieces directly from the creators. This free event is best suited for school-age children and teens who can safely navigate spaces filled with fragile items. Because the tour spans more than twenty locations across the county, you will want to map out your route in advance on the event website. It makes a wonderful weekend outing because it gets you out into different Durham neighborhoods while supporting local makers. You can set your own pace, visiting just two or three neighborhood spots or making a full day of it with a lunch break in between.
