Ventura Pottery Gallery

7th Annual Marvelous Mug Marketplace

What happens when 40+ ceramic artists are given the same simple idea—a mug—and complete freedom to make it their own? Something marvelous! Join us for the 7th Annual Marvelous Mug Marketplace, September 12–13.

Expect mugs that are whimsical, sculptural, colorful, earthy, elegant, playful—and completely one-of-a-kind. Come find the mug that speaks to you, then stay and explore the incredible work of 50+ local ceramic artists throughout the Gallery.

Plus, the Harbor Art & Street Painting Festival is happening all weekend, making it the perfect time to visit Ventura Harbor Village! Come for the marvelous mugs. Stay to discover the Gallery.

Gallery Artist Demos: 11 - 2, both days

Located in beautiful Ventura Harbor Village (near Baja Bay Surf 'n' Taco, Parking Lot Entrance 2) you will find the unique work of over 40 juried Ventura County Potters' Guild members. The staff in the Gallery are the makers. How cool would it be to meet the creator of the piece you decide to take home?

Looking for something marine themed or a special gift to commemorate your trip to Ventura? You will find it. Searching for that mug or bowl that fits perfectly in your hand or maybe matches a piece of ceramic from a memory? We may have it!

Functional pieces include plates, bowls of all sizes, tumblers, cups and mugs. You will also find casseroles, platters, serving dishes, teapots and vases.There are items for your patio and for a bookshelf. Check out the decorative sculptures, wall plaques and water fountains. Discover that special treasure in our selection of earrings, pins and necklaces.

The diversity of unique ceramics will capture your interest. Many of the Gallery's customers come back time and time again knowing there will always be something new.
