Who We Are
It all started with a bunch of potters getting together for a pot luck in January of 2025.
The Connecticut Clay Guild is a professional guild open to ceramic artists, studios, schools, and related businesses across Connecticut or with ties to the state. It is our belief is that we can achieve greater heights artistically and in our businesses by uniting, lifting each other up, and sharing resources. Our mission as a group is to foster the growth and expansion of the clay community across the state and beyond.
