THE NEVADA CLAY GUILD is a non-profit organization. Members are involved in ceramic arts as professionals, teachers or students of the art. There are currently over 100 members from the Las Vegas and Henderson area. HOW IT ALL BEGAN. A group of people involved in clay arts met on January 13th, 1990, to establish this guild. They believed there was an unmet need for more opportunities to learn, practice, and teach the art of clay. Since that day in 1990, the number of southern Nevadans taking an interest in clay has increased dramatically. TODAY the Nevada Clay Guild (NCG) sponsors workshops featuring noted potters from around the world. The Guild also cosponsors the annual Empty Bowls Benefit and Auction which benefits the hungry in Nevada. All materials for the event are donated by the businesses and members of the community. Increased participation and attendance at art and craft shows, juried shows and exhibitions is another testament to the efforts of dedicated southern Nevada clay artisans. BENEFITS TO MEMBERS. Members of the Nevada Clay Guild receive a quarterly newsletter with exhibit notices, program information, classified ads and feature articles. They also have the option of receiving email reminders of events and activities. General meetings also allow members to share experiences and give mini-workshops on their areas of expertise.
