Holiday Open Studio - Friday December 10
The Ceramic Arts Club will host its annual Holiday Open Studio from 12 noon to 4 pm on Friday December 10. This festive event will be held in front of the Ceramic Studio in the Gateway Plaza. It’s a great opportunity to shop for beautiful gifts and treasured home décor pieces, and everyone is urged to come and browse.
Numerous beautiful and unusual handcrafted items such as pottery and sculpture will be featured, all created in Rossmoor by members of the Ceramic Arts Club. In addition, some of the individual artists will be on hand, showing & selling their own special pieces. If you are looking for unique handcrafted gifts at reasonable prices, you won’t want to miss this - be sure to mark your calendar for the Ceramic Club’s Holiday Open Studio on December 10, starting at 12 noon!
The poster we’ve created about this Open Studio Sale is available here ( PDF version) for you to send to any and all friends & relatives you’d like to invite, Also members are asked to print out and post copies of the poster in your own entry, in places such as the wash house or gates to garbage areas!

Our Outdoor Studio is Open
CAC's Outdoor Studio is all set up and ready for all of our members who are interested in continuing to work in clay while the regular Ceramic Studio is shut down for the remodel.
NOTE: It is for use by current CAC members ONLY.
Supported activities include: wheel throwing (there are 2 wheels), hand building/sculpting, and decorating with underglaze – as well as raku glazing and firing. (However raku firing will have to be scheduled ahead of time, just as it was before, with Patty Taylor).
Of course everyone will have to bring their own clay, tools, brushes, etc. The use of shared equipment such as the slab roller, wedging tables, turntables and the two potters’ wheels will be on a first come-first served basis. The same thing applies to all other CAC equipment, such as texture mats, molds, rolling pins, etc. Underglazes will be available, but high-fire glazes will not.
NOTE: CAC will be able to arrange for the bisque-firing of members' ceramic pieces by Clay People in Richmond while our regular studio is closed. There will be a cost to those participating, which will depend on the number & size of pieces fired at one time, etc. More information will be announced by email at a future date.

The CAC STUDIO is CLOSED for REMODELING
The Ceramic Studio has been closed for the long awaited and much needed remodeling of CAC’s studio facilities since June 21, 2021.
We still do not know exactly when the studio will be able to re-open. It was originally projected to take about 3 months. However it is has already taken more time than expected (not surprisingly).
At this point we are unable to schedule any in-studio events. This includes our next Orientation Class for prospective new members, although we do hope to have one in the spring of 2022.
Stay tuned for more information as it become available!
