The purpose of Carolina ClayMatters is to establish vehicles of communication among persons working in clay; to promote the interchange of ideas, aesthetics, and techniques through planned meetings, workshops, and social events; to encourage professionalism among the members; to involve the community and through education, to expand their awareness of ceramic art.
Our guild is comprised of area ceramic artists with varied clay disciplines and skill levels. Our semi-annual pottery sale is gaining a quality reputation in Charlotte and it’s popularity is growing every year.
Meetings are held once a month and are always educational. Carolina ClayMatters members volunteer to share ideas through mini-workshops, informal discussions, slide presentations and show and tell. We arrange several workshops throughout the year with well known national and local artists.
Carolina Clay Matters Guild has two pottery shows per year featuring work from our members. The spring show is held the second Saturday in May and the fall show is held the second Saturday in October. Show times are 10:00 AM until 4 PM. Both shows are held at the McAlpine Business Park, 8300 Monroe Road, Charlotte, NC.
Our annual membership fee is $70 for a family, $60 for an individual, and $25 for a student. If you are only interested in our monthly newsletter, subscription is $15. Meetings are held at Carolina Clay (2132 Hawkins Street, Charlotte, NC 28203) the third Sunday of every month unless otherwise noted in the newsletter.
