Testimonial
- "Art, creativity, and community are three things that make life worth living, in my opinion, and the Carbondale Clay Center fosters all three. Because of this organization, I've found a new creative outlet, a new group of people with whom I feel I belong, and a new appreciation for clay as an art medium."
Mission
Carbondale Clay Center exists to enrich lives through the ceramic arts.
Our vision is to provide a place where our communities come together to learn, explore, create, and appreciate quality ceramic arts.
Community: Collaboration & social interaction.
Respect: Commitment to diversity and inclusivity and to respectful communication with all.
Stewardship: Socially, financially, and environmentally responsible.
Learning Environment: For everyone, from the casually curious to the established artist.
Fun: Exciting and inspirational discovery with laughter in the studios.
Background Statement
Carbondale Clay Center began in the fall of 1997 with local potter Diane Kenney as Director and Dan Trautman as Managing Director. With the help of a small private grant, they were able to buy the building CCC still resides in. With tremendous community help, they transformed the building into a working ceramics studio. CCC began offering weekly classes, Community Outreach, exhibition space, and an Artist's Residency Program. We have since expanded to add children's after school and summer clay programs, studio rentals for established potters, community events, special topic classes, and program collaborations with numerous local non-profits.
