Fifty area clay artists, a variety of demonstrations and Kids Clay Play are among the highlights of the 5th Annual Dirt Dauber Festival taking place this weekend from 10 a.m. – 5p.m. Saturday and Noon – 5p.m. Sunday at the Eye of the Dog Art Center (EOTDAC) in San Marcos.
Dirt Dauber offers a free, family-friendly way to enjoy and learn more about clay arts on the unique, 12-acre campus of EOTDAC. The eclectic site features a visual treat of art installations, unique buildings — including a large studio and Gallery – and a wooded courtyard that serves as home to an outdoor kitchen, stage and more than 40 clay artists’ booths.
As always, this event is free to enter and park and will feature live music, hotdogs and an extremely laid back vibe to enjoy the local art scene.
EOTDAC is located at 405 Valley View West Rd. in San Marcos. For more information about the 5th Annual Dirt Dauber Festival, including a list of participating artists, please call (512) 558-1723, email: beverlymangham@gmail.com or visit
