Springfield
Pottery has partnered with the Springfield Regional Arts Council to develop

The
Springfield Pottery Claymobile is a mobile ceramic education outreach
program dedicated to serving Springfield and neighboring communities
through programming suitable for public and private schools and community

All completed artwork is fired at the studio of Springfield Pottery
and returned to the host site.
