The Ceramic Art Center of Marin is a dynamic hub for professional ceramic artists and sculptors from the Bay Area and beyond.
By fostering connections between established and emerging artists, we encourage the exchange of knowledge, skills, and experiences essential for creative and professional growth.
Whether you’re an independent artist looking for space to create or a seasoned professional seeking fresh inspiration, CACM provides the support, resources, and environment to develop your craft and realize your artistic vision.
About us
At CACM, mentorship takes precedence over traditional teaching. Instead of standard classes, we offer workshops and ateliers led by experienced ceramicists. These collaborative sessions foster experimentation, dialogue, and skill development in a peer-driven environment, building a strong sense of community and shared creative growth.
Located in San Anselmo, our 1,500-square-foot studio offers professional and aspiring ceramic artists a serene, creative space with stunning views of Mount Tamalpais. Equipped with a gas kiln and mid- to low-range firing capabilities, the studio also features a showroom where artists can display and sell their work, making it a comprehensive center for creating and sharing art.
Becoming a member
We offer a tiered membership system designed to meet the diverse needs of intermediate and advanced ceramic artists. All members join as Associate Members and can upgrade to either Part-time or Full-time monthly membership subscription depending on their studio needs and goals.
