On the second Saturday of July each year, hundreds of people come to the Watershed campus for a memorable picnic—and carry home handcrafted ceramic plates as souvenirs of this special day. The plates are created by a dedicated artist-in-residence who spends the summer at Watershed making more than 500 plates for the Salad Days festival.
After choosing a favorite plate, visitors load it up with a delicious array of local foods—breads, locally sourced salads, and desserts—all prepared by area restaurants and Watershed’s cooks. In addition to the picnic lunch, Salad Days includes live music, artist demos, a ceramics exhibition, and a pottery sale of fine-crafted ceramics made by Watershed artists from around the country.
You may purchase Salad Days tickets in advance or at Watershed during the event. Tickets are $40 and include lunch and a handmade plate by 2018 Salad Days Artist Christina Bendo. Children five and under may attend for free, but do not receive a plate.
