About the Guild
​
Carolina Clay Matters, Inc. was established to create 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, 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 Clay Matters, Inc. 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.
​
2024 marks the 30th anniversary of the Carolina Clay Matters Guild! Something we are all quite proud of. Check out Reflections of 30 Years: The History of Carolina Clay Matters written by our Historian, Sylvia Coppola.
