More than a studio
Founded in 2024, the Ceramic Art Center of Marin (CACM) is a mentorship-driven studio for professional ceramic artists and sculptors from the Bay Area and beyond. Rather than traditional classes, we offer workshops and ateliers led by experienced ceramicists — collaborative, peer-driven sessions built for experimentation, skill development, and creative exchange. Whether you're an independent artist seeking studio space or a seasoned professional looking for fresh inspiration, CACM offers the community, resources, and support to grow your craft.
Why we're different
What sets CACM apart is our long-term, peer-driven community — complemented by a guest artist and speaker series, and a growing international network of ceramic artists.
