In the Mythological Creature Competition, the sky’s the limit!

Your creature can be wheel-thrown, hand-built, sculpted, carved—or any combination that brings your vision to life. This is your opportunity to explore the wild, the ancient, the symbolic, and the strange—through clay.

We’ve curated a list of mythological creatures from cultures around the world, each tied to themes of fire, water, destruction, transformation, and rebirth. You can view the full list HERE. Once you’ve registered, please choose one creature that inspires you and write your name next to it on the list to reserve it.

Each participant will receive a note card with the name of their chosen mythological creature, which will be displayed alongside their piece during the event. We strongly encourage you to write an artist statement to accompany your work—share your process, why you chose the creature, how it connects to the theme, or anything else you'd like the audience to know.

If you need firing services, we’re happy to help! We offer two options:

• $0.10 per cubic inch, or

  Firing includes bisque and glaze firing. Luster firing is also available upon request.

🔔 Important firing deadlines will be announced very, very soon. Please start making asap and stay tuned for exact dates.
