Road Trip!!!!!!!!!!!!

In late May 2025, thanks in part to a generous grant from the Nevada Arts Council, The Art Box team will journey north to the historic town of Tuscarora for an in-depth visit and a special series of podcast episodes recorded at the world-renowned Tuscarora Pottery School. We'll be exploring its rich legacy, speaking with resident artists, and capturing the creative spirit that continues to thrive in this remote Nevada haven. Links to the episodes will be available here as they’re released. 

Tucked away in the remote high desert of northeastern Nevada, the world-famous Tuscarora Pottery School is a hidden gem that has drawn artists from around the globe for decades. Founded in the 1960s by potter Dennis Parks, the school transformed the tiny ghost town of Tuscarora into a thriving seasonal hub for ceramicists and creatives seeking inspiration, solitude, and a connection to both the land and each other. Known for its rustic charm, stunning landscape, and emphasis on traditional wood-fired techniques, Tuscarora Pottery School offers immersive workshops and residencies that celebrate craftsmanship, experimentation, and the spirit of artistic exploration. Its legacy continues today as a place where creativity flourishes against the backdrop of Nevada’s windswept sagebrush hills and timeless skies.
