OUR
LEAGUE
The Ceramic League of Miami was founded in 1950 with the purpose
of educating members and the general public in all aspects of ceramics.
Our members volunteer to do demonstrations for school groups, scout
troops, and at various public events in the community. Classes
are offered throughout the year, at the League facility and taught
by members. Several visiting artist workshops are offered during
the year bringing nationally known ceramicists to teach and inspire
the membership and the public.
Our facility is well equipped with studios, wheels, a slab roller,
an extruder, electric and gas kilns (including two raku kilns) and
a fully stocked glaze formulation area. The organization is run
by six elected officers and committee chairpersons. It is a non-profit
organization funded primarily through dues, Ceramic League sales,
and the Community School.
The Ceramic League of Miami will further strengthen the ceramic arts in South Florida by providing artists and potters working in clay with access to kilns and studio facilities at its South Dade location. The league will equip the center with a custom built soda kiln and host a series of workshops, lectures and classes to introduce the project. The project aims to introduce students and young artists to the possibilities of working with clay and raise public awareness about the broad appeal and varied styles of the ceramic arts.
This New Center for Ceramics at the CLM is made possible by a grant from the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, as part of its Knight Arts Challenge.
