The American Ceramic Society (ACerS) is proud to announce its participation in the first-ever International Day of Ceramics, a global initiative established by the Japan Fine Ceramics Association, the International Ceramic Federation, and other academic and industry organizations to celebrate the art, craft, and culture of ceramics worldwide. The International Day of Ceramics is observed annually on March 12.
Get Involved and Help Celebrate
As a ceramic artist, this day was made for you. Whether you work in stoneware or porcelain, functional pottery or sculptural forms, raku or reduction firing, the International Day of Ceramics is your moment to share your passion with the world.
Here are some ways to join in:
Share your art on social media. Let your work speak for itself. Post images of your pieces, your studio, your process, and tell the world what drives you to create. Use #whyIclay to join a global conversation with fellow artists, collectors, and clay enthusiasts.
Tell us what clay means to you. We want to hear your story. In the field marked "What does clay mean to you?", write freely—there are no wrong answers. You might describe how you discovered ceramics, what the material teaches you, how it connects you to tradition or community, or simply what you feel when your hands are in clay.
