Find bargains on handmade pottery, ceramics

It’s the annual Art by Fire Seconds Sale, featuring not-quite-perfect pieces of beautiful hand-crafted pottery, ceramics, metalwork and glass – all made by local artisans.

Set for Saturday, Jan. 14, this sale will pack Shepard Garden and Arts Center. Hours are 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Admission and parking are free.

“A very special sale of less-than-perfect pottery, glass, metal and clay work at perfectly affordable prices!” say the organizers. “Treat yourself to an after-holiday present! Shop EARLY for best selection.”

Sacramento Potters Group/Art by Fire is home to dozens of talented artisans; many of them will contribute to this sale. This event is a great opportunity to find one-of-a-kind vases (wonderful for flower arrangements) and tableware plus much more.

Shepard Center is located at 3330 McKinley Blvd., Sacramento, in the panhandle of McKinley Park.
