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
GACA Empty Bowl Glaze-a-Thon!
Tuesday, October 6th
7:00-9:00pm
St. Edward’s University
Join us on Tuesday, October 6 from 7-9pm at St. Edward’s for a glaze night. We will be glazing all the beautiful bowls we made last month. In lieu of our regular dinner at ABGB beforehand, we will be having a snack potluck during the glaze-a-thon. So feel free to bring a snack, drinks, or anything to share! BYOB!
This year’s Empty Bowl event is Sunday, Nov. 22 at Central Texas Food Bank. As always, proceeds will go to the children’s programs at CTFB and Meals on Wheels Central Texas.
AEBP also has an online silent auction. If you would like to donate something to the auction (does not have to be a bowl), contact AEBP at austinemptybowl@gmail.com, bring your donation to the meeting in a box, or drop it off at Austin Pottery. AEBP will also be collecting finished bowls during our event if you have ones on hand that you would like to donate.
If you would like to see more about Austin Empty Bowl Project and discover ways you can help, visit https://www.austinemptybowl.org/.
Thank you for helping us feed Central Texas kids!
