By becoming a Clay Arts Guild (CAG) member you help sustain the Center for Community Arts clay arts program. In return, CAG provides significant benefits to you as a member:

  • A substantial discount on the registration fee for Open Studios.
  • A substantial discount on Master Potter Workshop registration fees. These one-day workshops bring in world-class ceramicists from around the country for a day of lecture demonstration.
  • Participation in CAG’s two Studio Sales per year. These sales are owned by the members of CAG, who transform the studio into a salesroom, provide staffing during the sale and clean-up afterwards. Artists receive 75% of proceeds from the sale of their work, with 25% contributed to CAG.
  • Four members-only studio events per year. These events vary between hands-on workshops such as tool and brush making, and in-depth get-to-know our instructors lectures. Refreshments are provided, plus lots of fun and camaraderie.
  • Access to CAG’s  large lending library of books and DVD’s on ceramics. Whether your interest is in hand building, throwing, decorating, sculpting or alternative firing you will find useful books, DVD’s and periodicals in the library, available for loan to members only.
  • CAG’s newsletter is published 4-5 times a year which provides news about studio operations, clay tips, member profiles and other issues of interest to members.

JUST A REMINDER. It can take a few days for the city to update your Perfect Mind account once you join. So if you do not see the discount for open studio, please contact us and we will help resolve the issue. BUT do not sign up for open studio for the non discounted price because you will NOT receive a discount. This is especially true if you sign up too close to registration because the city has a lot to do that week. There are no limitations on student numbers for open studio so it will not ‘fill up.’ So please wait until you see that you have been added.

Thank you so much and please consider joining today!
