Our remaining raku pumpkins from Rhythm + Raku Fest are now available online for $55 each! 🎃🔥

Every pumpkin is individually handmade and raku fired, creating beautiful, unpredictable colors and finishes that make each one truly unique.

This year’s pumpkins are especially meaningful, as each one bears our 10th anniversary commemorative badge on the back. A little collectible piece of Beale Pottery history!

We’ve also added our remaining festival tees, hoodies, and merch to the website.

Whether you’re adding to your pottery collection, looking for a special fall piece, or picking up a keepsake from this year’s festival, we’d love for these pumpkins to find their way into your homes.

We’re finally getting everything buttoned up from our 4th annual festival. I’ve been trying to find the words to express just how much this year’s Rhythm + Raku Fest meant to us.

Ten years of Beale Pottery. Ten years of dreaming, working, figuring things out as we go, and somehow convincing the people around us to come along for all of our crazy ideas… and there has been a lot. 😅❤️

Looking around our property last Saturday, seeing it filled with people enjoying music, art, pottery, and each other’s company, was something I’ll never forget. To see so many people come together around something Eric and I have poured so much of ourselves into is incredibly humbling.

None of this happens without the generosity of so many people. The volunteers and members who give their time so freely, the sponsors who believe in what we’re doing, the musicians and vendors who share their talents, and every person who chooses to spend their day here with us. You are what makes this whole thing so special. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you. ❤️✨

Our family and close friends have supported us through every wild idea, and our kids have grown up right alongside this business, putting up with our chaos and rolling up their sleeves whenever we need them. I hope you all know how much it means to us to have built something we can all be part of. We love you all so much. ❤️✨

More than anything, I’m grateful for the community that has grown around Beale Pottery. For the friendships, the encouragement, the helping hands, and the genuine love that we felt throughout the day and beyond. Thank you for believing in us, for showing up, and for making these ten years more meaningful than we ever could have imagined. Your love and support has imprinted our lives in ways that we’ll never be able adequately express. We hope to continue paying that forward as long as we can. 🥲 ❤️✨

We have the best village. ❤️✨

With all our love and gratitude,
Milissa & Eric ❤️

*We’ve added the remaining Raku pumpkins and festival merch to our website! 🎃🔥

Six incredible bands, six raku kilns firing, clay games, beautiful pottery, delicious local food, cold drinks, and a whole lot of wonderful people. We can hardly wait!

This photo says so much about what makes this festival special. ❤️ Behind the scenes, an incredible crew of volunteers has been working tirelessly to help us bring this celebration to life. From building and setting up to parking cars, firing kilns, running games, and keeping everything moving, we truly couldn’t do this without them. Please give them some love tomorrow!

A few things before you head our way!

🚗 Carpool if you can, follow our parking attendants, and park snugly!

🪑 Bring chairs and blankets, claim your spot by the stage, and explore!

📍 1038 N 550 E, Westville, IN
🕛 Noon–9:30 PM

Ten years ago, Eric and I couldn’t have imagined the community that would grow around this little pottery business of ours. Tomorrow, we get to celebrate it with all of you, right here at home.

Come ready to relax, meet some new friends, support our artists and musicians, and enjoy a beautiful day together.

Let’s fill these fields with music, laughter, fire, and good company!
