Join us on Friday, September 16 for a festive evening of bidding and buying, with auctions, raffles, fun, and food! This annual fundraiser is even more special this year because it's the first one in our new building at 1425 N American Street. Your support keeps us going all year long so that artists, students, teachers, and schoolchildren can discover and deepen their love for clay. Really, there's no other organization in the world like The Clay Studio, and it's absolutely because of people like YOU!
Featuring artwork by Kukuli Velarde, Molly Hatch & Ibrahim Said, Making Place Matter is an ambitious exhibition, symposium, and publication that inaugurates The Clay Studio’s newly built home which opened on April 8, 2022, in the South Kensington neighborhood of Philadelphia. Together with our community MPM Council, we begin this new chapter in our own history, and the idea of ‘place’ takes on critical importance. Building a resonant conversation between clay artists and the community in our new gallery, Making Place Matter will be organized around the complex meanings of place in our contemporary social conversation.
The Clay Studio believes that access to artistic expression through ceramics should be available to all regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, or ability. When in alignment with our mission, we empower marginalized groups to take part in our programming and join our staff and board.

Our shop features one-of-a-kind pieces you won’t find anywhere else, handmade by over 100 artists. With a choice of pottery, tableware, décor, jewelry, and works of art in every color and every price point, you're sure to find the perfect gift, and you'll be happy to know that your purchase directly supports artists and the operations of the The Clay Studio.
