Help Claymakers Thrive
Keep clay accessible, creative, and community-centered
“How often do we find a community in which we can be creative, and be ourselves?
We are a group of beautifully and randomly assembled folks from across the Triangle, some who want to hone their creativity with a tangible medium beyond the computer keyboards of our day-jobs, others who are serious potters advancing their skills.
I enjoy the diversity of forms, of skills, and of stories we share amongst the people who come here. This, for me as for many, is a life-giving, freeing, and safe space to create and grow.
I'm proud to call it an essential part of my life in Durham. "
-Caleb Parker, Claymakers student
“For the past three years, Claymakers has been my oasis. It’s a place and a community where I can step out of my daily life for a while and take the time to learn and create... Claymakers has provided an environment where a diverse group of people can grow and learn from each other.”
- Ronnie Angerer, Claymakers Student
