When rung up Jennifer Luna, Garden City, walked away with items purchased from the ceramics sale and a lighter wallet.
"I spent 100 dollars, no joke," said Luna. "It's Christmas and I buy these types of items because it is an art form that you can use, plus I support the arts all that I can."
According to Luna, the ceramic sale has relatively non-expensive, handcrafted gifts for her family and friends.
"I really enjoy coming to these sales because you can get so many different items, and even though it seems like you spent a lot of money you come out in the end with just as many items," Luna said.
Even though the creators take home 80 percent of what they make and the other 20 percent goes toward the Potters Guild.
"I made about 100 dollars today and that is about normal compared with the past years I have done this," Jim Mathews, Garden City, said.
The items that are being sold can range anywhere from $7 to $40 and include functional pieces such as dishes and planters and sculptural work to be used for display.
The annual sale is done twice a year and is a time where students and the instructors have a chance to show off their work and make a profit from the sale.
"There is no limit to what we are allowed to put on the shelves, so we have a good chance to make some extra money," Armando Minjarez, Ulysses, Kan., said.
The Potters Guild had their ceramics sale yesterday, but are still accepting customers through next week until the last day of finals, Wednesday, Dec. 13.
