Whimsy meets clay with Becky Ziemer’s one-of-a-kind creatures made from ceramics and found objects. Each piece is full of personality, color, and charm. Watch Becky bring these imaginative critters to life during live demos October 18-19!

Watch the grain come alive! With 20+ years as a maker, teacher and learner of fine craft, Rick Cannon’s skill on the lathe is something to behold. Watch him in action daily during the festival and explore his beautifully crafted pieces.

What a day! Thanks to your support, RiverArtsFest brought some of Memphis’ most inspiring artists to MSCS art teachers for District Learning Day, connecting classrooms to creativity in meaningful ways.
