The Clay Studio was founded in 1974 as an artist collective. We have a proud legacy of presenting international programs, hosting three national clay conferences, and serving local artists, students, children, and adults. The organization has worked to attain a strong local, national, and international reputation in the field of ceramic arts programming. The Clay Studio has a budget of $2 million, of which 50% is contributed income. We are organized in the following six business units: Consignment Shop, Gallery, Studio Rental Program, Ceramics School, Claymobile, and Artist Residency. In late 2016, we launched a capital campaign, and have begun to secure the lead gifts.
