Clay Center of New Orleans

The Clay Center of New Orleans is a nonprofit organization that serves to grow, support, and elevate ceramic art and artists by bringing high-quality ceramic art exhibitions, education, outreach, and professional opportunities to the city of New Orleans.

The Clay Center was founded to increase the amount of ceramic art education, exhibitions, and professional opportunities available in New Orleans, as well as to provide local artists with greater access to ceramic supplies, facilities, and workspace.

In order to offer outstanding programming to the entire New Orleans community, we're raising funds for our upcoming expansion! We're leasing more space at ArtEgg Studios which will allow us to enlarge our glaze room and offer a much larger dedicated member studio adjacent to the main studio.
