Our Capital Campaign

ClayTogether • Our Capital Campaign

In 2020, our new facility in the vibrant South Kensington neighborhood will propel us forward — a complete, comprehensive ceramics center expanding our role as art educators and securing our place as a leader in the field of ceramics. This is a defining moment, when our shared creativity becomes an even greater force for good. Together, we’ll make this vision a reality. Your support is especially critical — make a donation today!

By using ceramic waste material such as clay and glaze from sink traps, mop buckets, and floor sweepings I am able to mold pieces that emulate the less savory aspects of our material culture such as strip mining and waste disposal.

Jacob Raeder
resident

My current work fidgets comfortably between wonder and knowing. It is object-based and sensual; playing hide-and-go-seek with the themes of suburban aesthetics, craftsmanship, intimacy, and consumption. My studio is a fluid environment with multiple projects across multiple platforms happening simultaneously.
