EVENTS

Elkton Art & Wine Weekend began with the vision of the late Hiroshi Ogawa, a master potter who built his studio in Elkton in the early 1980s. Known for his traditional wood-fired ceramics and respect for natural imperfection, Ogawa welcomed artists and visitors alike, creating a culture of connection and collaboration.

His annual open-studio pottery sale eventually grew into Art & Wine Weekend and became a broader celebration of local creativity, including wineries and artisans across the town. Today, visitors can explore handcrafted gifts, savor local wines, and enjoy Elkton’s small-town charm — carrying forward the creative spirit Ogawa inspired.

Learn more about his work and legacy in this beautiful feature captured in 2016.
