| Join The Potters Council Today!
 Whether you're a passionate professional or an enthusiastic amateur,
you need to share your insights, questions, and comments with people
who understand you. Making pottery can be a solitary pursuit. Talking
and learning about it doesn't have to be. Listing of all Member Benefits.
Dear fellow potter,
Working in clay can sometimes be a solitary pursuit. But there are
times that we need to share ideas, ask questions, search for solutions.
There are times when we need a community of people who think like us,
who feel like us, who love clay like us. That community is the Potters
Council.
You are cordially invited to join Potters Council—a distinguished
group of artists and artisans, passionate professionals and avid
amateurs. Join today and add your name to the growing list of potters
and ceramic artists who are proud to count themselves among the
membership of the Potters Council.
A nurturing, creative community
The
Potters Council was formed to create a community of potters and ceramic
artists from around the world. This is a community of potters dedicated
to supporting each other by sharing ideas, insights, and advice.
Community is important. We can all share techniques and tips and add
new dimensions to each other's work—and our own. You never know what
will inspire your work or influence your next project. But that's part
of the joy of pottery! And when you become a member of the Potters
Council, you are part of a creative, compassionate community of people
who understand you.
Connected to the clay
The Potters Council is a nonprofit subsidiary of The American Ceramic Society
(ACerS). It was formed to serve you: potters, ceramic artists, lovers
of clay. Our mission is to meet the needs of studio potters and ceramic
artists by providing a place for knowledge exchange and professional
enhancement.
Our goals are simple:
- Support studio pottery as a professional and recreational activity by providing valuable programs and services.
- Provide forums for discussion of issues, and a means to address them.
- Tap into The American Ceramic Society's wealth of technical knowledge in ceramics.
- Organize groups on local, regional, national, and
international levels—working closely with and supporting existing arts
organizations.
- Provide business and career opportunities.
- Support the efforts of ACerS to promote ceramic awareness.
