Arizona CLAY Association

 

 

History

Arizona CLAY was started in the sixties, by a group of clay artists in the Phoenix area who were interested in the camaraderie and inspiration to be gained by associating with fellow enthusiasts for their art and passion. It has grown from a small handful of artists to over 200 members, with an active calendar to help promote clay to the general public and make education in clay art accessible to all.

 Mission Statement

Arizona CLAY is an association of workers in clay in art and commerce who unite in the purpose of advancing public appreciation of clay as a medium of expression. CLAY provides education through open workshops, juried and non-juried public exhibitions in cooperation with other institutions, and development of marketing opportunities. Fellowship for all persons interested in ceramic arts is offered through attendance at meetings and lectures and subscription to CLAY publications.
