Our community

Meet the founders, mentors, and members who make up the CACM community — the artists shaping what this studio is and where it's headed.

Where it began

CACM was born in 2024 out of a simple but powerful need, a space where devoted ceramic artists could go deeper. A natural next step for those ready to move beyond the foundations, CACM is a place where practitioners immerse themselves fully in the development of their craft, explore advanced techniques and cultivate a truly committed artistic practice. What began as a vision for a more in-depth creative community has grown into exactly that, a studio where curiosity is met with rigor, where artists push their boundaries and where the love of clay is taken to the next level. In community.
