You didn’t become a potter to work in isolation. You became one because of the clay, yes — but also because of the community. The shared kiln, the late-night studio conversations, the moment another potter looks at your work and just gets it.

Clay Pittsburgh exists for you.

We connect Pittsburgh potters with each other and with a buying public that is genuinely hungry for what you make. Our annual Potters Tour puts your work in front of collectors who are looking for their next favorite artist — and that artist could be you. Our exhibitions, artist talks, and potter-to-potter gatherings create the kind of relationships that lead to collaborations, sales, new ideas, and lasting friendships.

Whether you’re just starting out and looking for your footing, or you’ve been throwing for decades and want to deepen your roots in this city’s clay community, Clay Pittsburgh is where Pittsburgh potters come together.

Your donation helps us keep doing this work — growing the tour, hosting events, and building the infrastructure that helps local potters get seen, get connected, and get their work into the hands of people who will treasure it.

Invest in Pittsburgh’s clay community. Invest in your fellow potters.
