Origin of the Festival
Edgerton’s clay and pottery heritage dates back to 1853. That history was reimagined with the dedication of our City Hall Pottery Plaza in 2015. On that date, three of my former pottery students came out of retirement after some 20 years. Then and since we have sourced and used the same clay from locations on and near the 1800’s brickyards and pottery companies. 2023 marks our 8th Annual Pottery & Art Festival. The use of Edgerton’s natural resource is an homage to our heritage.
