The potters at Boulder Mountain Clayworks are coming out of their studio into the beautiful Sawtooth Botanical Garden in a few weeks to celebrate Tuscany in the Garden.

The fundraising event for Boulder Mountain Clayworks will be held from 6 to 9 p.m. Wednesday, July 17. And, as with past years, it should be a delightful laid-back evening.

Guests will be provided complimentary wine cups crafted by studio potters in which to enjoy their beverages. And the Ketchum Grill Pizza Truck and Sun Valley Culinary Institute will supply the foodstuff.

Attendees can bid on a Sun Valley ski pass and month-long pass to Zenergy, and there will be a bevy of potters’ creations ranging from salad bowls to kiln-fired art for people to bid on. The Paddle Up will go towards new kiln shelves at the Ketchum studio.

Boulder Mountain Clayworks hosts youth clay camps, teen throwing camps and classes featuring nationally renowned artists for adults. It also supplies the bowls for the Empty Bowls soup and salad event each January that benefits nonprofits serving those in need.

Tickets are $75, purchased in advance, and $90 at the door. Tickets can be purchased at https://bouldermtnclay.org,  or checks may be sent to Box 3725, Ketchum, ID 83340.
