Ceramics are in the spotlight in the annual Southern Crossings Pottery Festival (SXPF). The event, started in 2017, highlights local contemporary studio pottery as well as being a fundraiser to help feed the hungry. First Pick Friday is on March 4 from 5-9 p.m. Tickets are $10 and let buyers purchase the work of the 12 potters prior to the public. Included is a complimentary signature TEN20 Brew drink, hors d’oeuvres, live entertainment and a cash bar. The free Pottery Market is on Saturday, March 5 from 11 a.m.-5 p.m. This year’s Empty Bowls Fundraiser will be on both dates of the festival. To donate, buy a handmade ceramic bowl, with the proceeds going to the organization Change Today, Change Tomorrow. Bowls start at $20. Masks are required.
