Midwest Clay Artists are a group of dedicated artists who choose clay as their medium.  We produce Functional Stoneware and Porcelain, Decorative Art, Raku, Sculpture, and Tiles.   Working with clay is often a solitary experience.  This group lets us share information, problems and solutions, share a story or just discuss the art of creating with clay.  The group also serves as a way to promote our work and to promote the art of clay within the community. Please click on the photos of each artist's work to send e-mail or click their links for more information.

For more information about Midwest Clay Artists (to join our group or to sign up for the mailing list) please contact Sylvia Shirley at 620-232-1266 or e-mail midwestclay@cox.net
