CCSA Recap

Our team recently wrapped up an excellent few days at the 2025 Contemporary Ceramic Studios Association (CCSA) Annual Convention in Denton, Texas, held September 4th–8th .

Welcoming New Studio Owners

We were honored to host the New Members Cocktail Party, where we connected with fresh faces—new studio owners eager to chart their own paths. The conversations were authentic and grounded, filled with insights into both early challenges and creative dreams.

Engaging with the Community

At the conference, more than 300 studio owners gathered to share stories, explore new ideas, and refine their craft. From classrooms to the exhibit hall to informal chats over coffee, we appreciated the opportunity to engage deeply—learning what matters most to studio owners and hearing how they’re pushing boundaries in their communities.

Celebrating Connection and Expertise

Every session, mixer, and exhibit reflected both the artistry and ambition of this community. Whether in hands-on classes or networking at events, it was clear that shared experiences and peer support are what drive our field forward.

Thank you to everyone who joined us—new studio owners, experienced operators, instructors, and CCSA organizers. Your openness and expertise made the convention meaningful. We look forward to continuing the conversation and supporting your journey ahead.
