Clay Commons Market

Wednesdays June 3 - September 9

About the Market
Clay Commons in Director Park is a weekly summer ceramics market in the heart of downtown Portland. Held every Wednesday, the market brings together local ceramic artists to share, sell, and connect their pieces with the community.

Each week features ceramic vendors offering a range of work: from functional ware to sculptural pieces. The final Wednesday of each month will feature a Guilds Bazaar, highlighting a broader mix of local makers.

Vendors are responsible for bringing their own setup, including table, tent, and display.
There are no additional fees beyond registration.
Vendors may share booths with other ceramic artists under one account.
