Ceramics Monthly Is Your Complete Guide to the Studio Ceramics Field
Every issue of Ceramics Monthly
includes articles on world-class potters and artists
who share expert advice and techniques. What’s the next breakthrough in
your art? From studio processes to aesthetic content, from glaze recipes
to the science behind them, you’ll find all of it in each issue of CM:
Clay Culture
From makers
committed to
tradition to those launching ceramic practice into the future, we honor
and highlight the ways that culture interacts with clay, both inside
and outside the studio. We embrace the solitude and rhythm of focused
production work as well as the exuberant sampling and experimentation of
varied influences from many sources. From the kick
wheel to the rapid prototyping machine, Ceramics Monthly presents the broadest view of current ceramic studio practice available. That’s why Ceramics Monthly has earned its reputation as the world’s largest and most comprehensive ceramic arts magazine. This inspirational story about Daniel Johnston’s 100 Jars project shows how all sorts of new ideas can work in contemporary and traditional ceramics.
Ceramic Glaze Articles
The glaze articles in every issue, written by experts in the field,
will help you understand ceramic materials and how they work together in
your glazes. One example is “Silicon Carbide, The Stuff of Stars,” by Mark Chatterley, in which he explains his recipes (as well as a few others) for lava glazes.
Exposure
It’s all
about the work. We showcase images of works included in current and
upcoming exhibitions that you can go see right now! Stay up to date with
best mix of what’s on view. And for full listings of exhibitions and
other events, check out our online calendar.
Studio Visit
Since we can’t go visit all the potters and artists we would like to
in real life, we present one to you each month. Each has a unique story
and way of working. You’ll find their insights filled with practical and
inspirational information you can use in your own studio. Pay a visit right now to Lorna Meaden, in Durango, Colorado.
Tips and Tools
Well, the name says it all, doesn’t it? We all love sharing the innovative, clever ways we solve problems in the studio, save time and resources, and make our work truly our own. Here’s a tip from a reader about how to deal with reclaiming clay in a small space.
Techno File
Regardless of the type of work you pursue, there is a lot to know about
how to successfully make ceramic art. Our expert technical authors break down complicated issues
between science and art so you can find your own success in the studio. Here’s one that’s called “All About Iron,” by John Britt that tells you—well, all about iron.
Reviews
Our in-depth analysis of preeminent exhibitions provides great insights into the work of emerging and well-established artists. Our reviewers place both the exhibition and the works into cultural, historical, and aesthetic context, giving you background and tools to arrive at your own conclusions. A great example is a review by regular contributor Naomi Tsukamoto on two shows that feature Contemporary Japanese Teawares.
Spotlight
A conversation in print. Sometimes all it takes is one small idea to send you off in a direction of brand new discovery. And it’s often wonderful to discover that you have something in common with one of your clay heros. Our first Spotlight was on Nick Joerling, and we asked him what it took to risk changing a very successful body of work.
Subscribe today and receive ten jam-packed issues of Ceramics Monthly for only $34.95. And don’t forget that your subscription includes free online access to a year’s worth of issues.

Best Regards,
Sherman Hall
