KILN WALK

Of all man’s arts, ceramics deals most directly with earth, water, air and fire  …  elements the ancients considered atomic essentials of our world. Fire is the key. Fire gives clay a hardness and permanence. Without a knowledge of the action of fire, the potter’s craft would not exist. Nor would exist those infinitely numerous shards and sherds with which we piece together the material and spiritual record of early human history. -Daniel Rhodes

The Gulf Coast Kiln Walk Society does not discriminate on the basis of age, disability, ethnicity, gender, race or religion.

The Gulf Coast Kiln Walk Society is fundraising for our first-ever Capital Campaign focused on building a multidimensional Ceramic Art Center. By investing in the new Center, you will also be investing and shaping our future by allowing the transformative power of the arts to strengthen our community in so many positive ways. 

We envision the new Ceramic Art Center as a welcoming and creative place where ceramic artists can connect, share ideas and inspire each other. The Center will bring together students, artists, art patrons and people of all ages and skill levels who are inspired by the art of working with clay.
