The Clay Garden  -  April 18  -  10am-4pm

2003 Ladd Road
Modesto, CA 

The Clay Garden Art Market activities include raku firing opportunities presented by Don Hall. If you’re not familiar with raku firing, it’s normally done with fire…Don has a special method that will be carried out with a microwave! I encourage you to watch Don’s YouTube video @ https://youtu.be/WPi1QgzkVCY?si=fsfAbY55qOwLkHm0

There will also be a barbecue happening – so while you’re visiting with the artists, shopping for pottery and taking part in a raku firing, you can also enjoy a barbecued lunch! All taking place at a gorgeous location!

CCACA 2026

39th California Conference for the

Advancement of Ceramic Arts

         April 24, 25, 2026 - Davis, CA  

After 39 years of tradition the John Natsoulas Center for the Arts is proud to continue the largest sculptural ceramics conference in the world. Conceived by the need for dialogue and direct interaction between artists and students, CCACA 2026 brings the ultimate ceramic sculpture event to Davis, CA. In an intimate setting, you can interact with top artists in a way not possible at other venues. UC Davis, home to the late sculptor Robert Arneson, was instrumental in defining a new direction for ceramic art. Enjoy delightful downtown Davis and be inspired by nationally recognized ceramic art talents.

Demonstrations, lectures, shows—no other event delivers more inspired knowledge of ceramic sculpture for a better price. Meet face-to-face with distinguished ceramic sculptors you might only read about; see and hear from the artists what makes them top in their field.

Clay Arts Confluence
May 23, 24, 25 - 10am-4pm Daily

3353 E. Hwy. 4
Murphys, CA
(3.5 miles from Murphys stoplight)

Join the clay community at the Clay Arts Confluence at Quyle Kilns the weekend of May 23, 24, 25 from 10am to 5pm daily.

Around 15 artists who are experts in their craft will demonstrate skills like how to mix colored clays to create marble-patterned agateware, work with paper clay, build slab sculptures, create flutter bowls, throw tall vessels and closed vessels, design mosaics, and more. Food will be available for a donation.

Each day will feature a fun pottery throwdown for potters with experience. There will be 10 wheels on the studio deck, and several contests. In one, participants will be blindfolded to see how well they can throw by touch. In another, potters will create as many pots that are consistent in size and shape as they can “off the hump”—a big block of clay centered on a wheel—in 15 minutes.

For beginners, there will be several projects to explore, from trying your hand at a mini wheel, decorating pots for a raku firing, or participating in a mosaic project. There will be sign up sheets at the event; all projects are first come, first serve.

The Confluence is totally free to attend!

SJPG Will Be Participating with a Tree in 2026

It’s not to early to think about making Christmas ornaments for the 2026 Festival of Trees.  The San Joaquin Potters Guild hopes to be able to have a tree at this annual event with ornaments made of clay and glass.  If you are interested in working on a committee to get SJPG project idea off the ground, please send an e-mail to our President , Julienne “Puka” Pin and let her know, at  puka.tutis@gmail.com
