The Baltimore Clayworks Collection documents over four decades of ceramic arts, community programming, and organizational development in Baltimore, Maryland. Founded in 1980 by nine artists, Baltimore Clayworks was established with a mission to provide a supportive environment for ceramic artists while engaging the broader public through exhibitions, classes, and community-based arts education. The collection includes photographs of artists and exhibitions, event flyers, newsletters, press materials, catalogs, and internal documents that reflect the organization’s evolution, its support of emerging and established artists, and its commitment to accessibility and community impact. This collection offers a valuable resource for researchers, artists, educators, and arts administrators interested in the intersections of craft, community, and contemporary ceramics in the Mid-Atlantic region.
