Pairings

The Carbondale Clay Center's (CCC) annual Pairings exhibition celebrates handmade ceramics and handcrafted beverages! On display in the CCC Gallery May 4th - June 26th, 2026 Beverage Reception Event Friday, June 5th, 6-8pm PAIRINGS brings together handmade local and national artists’ ceramics and handcrafted beverages in a celebration of form, function, and flavor. This beloved vessel-focused ceramic exhibition has become a cornerstone of our community’s creative calendar. The highlight of the exhibition is the outdoor celebration at the Carbondale Clay Center, under the tent during June’s First Friday, where any purchase from the show can be redeemed for a handcrafted beverage from one of our local partners. This year, we’re thrilled to feature beverage sponsors Marble Distillery, Carbondale Beer Works, El Dorado, Pollinator Chocolate, and more—each offering something uniquely delicious to sip and savor. Join us in raising a glass to over 15 years of artistry, collaboration, and community!
