Michigan Mud is a conference offered every 2 years by the Michigan Ceramic Art Association. The conference includes demonstrations and lectures by many Michigan ceramic artists. This year the featured keynote speaker is Robert Piepenburg.

The conference also will include sessions on construction techniques, surface treatment, and glazing. Whether a full-time potter or one who wishes they had more time to work with clay, a college art instructor or a public school teacher, a graduate student or someone still in high school, you will find many things at this conference that will be practical.
