The San Diego Potters’ Guild is both a professional ceramic arts organization and a cooperative gallery located in the Spanish Village Art Center in Balboa Park. Our Guild was established in 1958 and has grown to a membership of over 40 Studio Potters. The Guild has a limited juried membership and will be holding their next jury at their Studio 29 in Spanish Village on April 4th, 2022. The Guild will also hold an optional workshop before the jury on February 12th, 2022 to help applicants with the jurying process.

The Guild Members will be judging your work based on craftsmanship, personal identity, and aesthetics. Your pottery should be a cohesive body of work that shows your technical mastery of both form and surface. Your pieces should be of a high quality and free from basic flaws, ie: no crack marks, a finished smooth foot, tightly fitted lids, etc. We will be looking for a strong sense of personal style in your work which communicates your individuality. The work should also reflect the type of work you will be selling in our gallery.
