ICAN—the premiere organization for ceramic artists!

Being an ICAN member means being part of a community of like-minded artists—artists who love to make, discover, watch, listen, read about, and share all things ceramics. Visiting the ICAN website not only means discovering new tips and techniques to help you be a better ceramic artist, but it also provides members with a place to be involved, a place to share ideas, a place to meet fellow artists with similar interests, and a place to show off your hard work in the studio. Whether you are a beginner, have a few classes under your belt, or are a seasoned veteran, you have landed in the right place. 
 
If you are a member already, scroll down and get involved: Submit images of your artwork, to the latest ICAN contest, watch the Cultural Tours video to learn about all the places ICAN goes, or read about your fellow ICAN members in the Artist Portfolios section. Then, add your own portfolio! If you are not a member, joining ICAN gives you the resources and community support you need to be a better ceramic artist.

ICAN Daniel Brand

I grew up in the home of a Ceramicist, clay played a role in my life from an early age. Early on I had a passion for fine and delicate porcelain work. I decided to focus and hone my skill in Nerikomi.

ICAN Tony Furtado

I'm inspired by the natural world and finding expressive and engaging ways to portray what I see and feel. Whether an accurate biological rendering or a stylized, surreal statement, I try to strike a balance between fierceness and fragility.
