Welcome to the San Diego Potters' Guild
|
The guild is a juried membership of more than 40 potters from San Diego, California. We are located in Balboa Park's historic Spanish Village, at Studio 29, where members make and sell their creations directly to the public.
The gallery features a large and varied display of work from all our members and is refreshed periodically. The studio offers also a working space for our members. Every day, one of the guild members can be found working at the wheel, handbuilding, or preparing for a firing. We invite you to come visit us and discover one of the best spots for ceramic work in San Diego! |

SAVE THE DATE: June 13&14Our Spring Patio Show is coming up soon.
Twice a year—on the second full weekend in June and again in November—the San Diego Potters’ Guild transforms the entire Spanish Village patio into a vibrant open‑air gallery. More than forty potters roll in fresh work from their home studios, filling the space with color, texture, and the energy of a community that lives and breathes clay. The Spring Show runs from 10am to 5pm on both Saturday and Sunday, offering visitors the chance to wander from table to table, discover brand‑new pieces, and meet the artists who made them. It’s one of the rare moments when you can talk directly with Guild members about their techniques, inspirations, and firing adventures—an experience as unique as the work on display. Featured work by Lynn Zimmer and Nancy Barbour. This year, our Spring show is part of Handwork 2026, Craft in America's nationwide semiquincentennial collaboration showcasing the importance of the handmade and celebrating the diversity of craft that defines America.

In the GalleryEvery two months the central display in the gallery showcases work from our members on a specific theme.
Clay, Form & Function March 21, 2026 - May 23, 2026 Clay, Form & Function celebrates the timeless dialogue between material and purpose. The show highlights how clay moves from raw earth to intentional form—vessels, sculptures, and everyday objects shaped by hand, fire, and imagination. Together, these pieces reveal the beauty of function, the elegance of form, and the enduring artistry of ceramics in daily life. Featured work by David Cuzick |
