Artisans on Main, Clayworkers' Guild Of Illinois

The Clayworkers' Guild is a not for profit organization of craftsmen and artists who use clay as an expressive medium. We strive to aid, encourage, advise, and work together to support each other's endeavors. Through its various activities the Clayworkers' Guild serves the community by supporting exhibits and workshops, for both its membership and the public, in all aspects of ceramics and related arts.

We currently have 70+ members. Along with quarterly meetings, the Guild provides its members with informative workshops by visiting artists. Previous topics have included sculpture, thrown and hand-built pottery, professional presentation, health and safety, form and expression.

In being a not for profit, we provide members workshops, classes for the public, and are actively involved with charities such as “Empty Bowls”, The Family Partnership Clinic, McHenry County College, and many others within the area.
