MEETINGS & EVENTS
Membership is required to participate in some events but the regular networking, informal member demos, and fellowship at our monthly meetings will remain free and open to the public.
Greater Austin Clay Artists is excited to announce our new Clay Mixer series! This new meetup series will give us an opportunity to gather and socialize at local community clay studios around Austin. Each meetup will have a theme, but it's primary focus will be for us to just network, have fun, and see our Austin clay studios!
To learn more and see the upcoming schedule of mixers,

Upcoming Monthly Meetings
February 3rd
Feel It Out: A Hands-On Workshop for Playful and Connection
7-9pm at St. Edward's University Fine Arts Building - Clay Studio
Feeling stuck? Need an outlet for some big feelings? Curious about the intersection of clay and mental health?
Join us for an evening of hands-on learning as we explore how working with clay can help us access playfulness and connection, even (and maybe especially) when times get tough.
This experience will be led by Chance Ramirez, ceramicist, professional counselor, and registered art therapist. This workshop is not therapy, but it will focus on how we might use clay to support our own wellness, express some emotion, and build resilience.
No experience necessary!
As always, we invite you to join us before the meeting for food & drinks starting at 5:30 pm at ABGB located at 1305 W Oltorf St.
