About Us

Since its founding in 1993, Strictly Functional Pottery National (SFPN) has served as the standard for functional ceramic exhibits. Everyone is encouraged to enter any form of functional ceramics, not just food-oriented.

The first of its kind, SFPN provides an opportunity for functional pots to receive a much deserved spotlight. Every year, we proudly feature some of the most talented ceramic artists from across the country.  

About Us

Strictly Functional Pottery National is a national juried competition of 75-100 quality pieces of functional pottery. The annual event has been held since 1993 and is recognized as one of the top ceramic exhibitions in the country.
