On September 20 & 21, 2025, join us in the historic town of Stanardsville for the 10th annual Virginia Clay Festival, an art show celebrating the creative possibilities of clay.

Virginia potters, sculptors, and jewelers will be selling their latest work…. ALL IN CLAY! Each artist will give a demonstration showing how to throw pots, sculpt, or explain a technique that makes their work unique. Artisan food trucks and live acoustic music will enhance the festival atmosphere.

Located in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, Stanardsville is an easy day trip from Charlottesville, Richmond, Staunton, Fredericksburg, Winchester, and the D.C. area.

The Virginia Clay Festival will be held daily from 10 am – 5 pm and Sunday 10 am - 4 pm on September 20 & 21 at William Monroe High School cafeteria/common space and school grounds. Free parking at the high school and free admission to the festival.
