what is it?
The Chicago Ceramics Crawl is a city-wide open house guiding attendees along a tour of Chicago’s community ceramics spaces. Each participating studio on the Crawl will showcase their specialties during tours and events. On your first stop, pick up a passport to collect stamps from each participating studio. The passport can be turned in to the last location on your journey for a chance to win prizes donated by local artists and community studios.
The Crawl intends to cultivate a city wide appreciation of handmade clay wares, and grow connection amongst our ceramic community.
how to participate
Grab a Crawl passport at any participating location! The passport will be your guide as you explore the city.
Explore the studios throughout the city and see the events they have to offer! Make sure to pick up a passport stamp at each studio you visit.
At your last stop, turn in your passport to enter into our prize raffle!
Raffle Winners will be announced on instagram once the Crawl completes.
