About the Ceramics Club
Who We Are
The Ceramics Club is a diverse group of Sun City residents brought together by a shared passion for creating three-dimensional art from clay. Members range from beginners to highly experienced ceramic artists with many years of practice. We enjoy being part of a welcoming community where members are eager to share their knowledge, insight, and skills.
What We Do
Members create both functional and decorative pieces using a variety of techniques. The three main methods practiced in the studio are slip casting with molds, hand building, and throwing on a potter’s wheel. We have fun while learning, creating individually and together, and building friendships with others who appreciate the art of working with clay. We also enjoy periodic training sessions led by fellow members, local artists, and instructional videos.
When We Are Open
The studio is open seven days a week from 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m.
Where We Are Located
The Sun City Ceramics Studio is located on Studio Row in the Mountain View Clubhouse, alongside the Fine Arts and Stained Glass studios. Our studio features a large selection of molds, four potter’s wheels, a clay slab machine for hand building, a store with tools and supplies, and three state-of-the-art electric kilns.
How to Become a Member
