Centered in studio practice, The Studio Potter promotes discussion
of technology, criticism, aesthetics, and history within the ceramics
community.

The beauty of its design and the vitality of its content have given
inspiration and pleasure, information and ammunition, to its readers for
more than 40 years. Over eighty issues comprise both a historical
archive and a comprehensive resource that continues to serve the field.

In recognition of the community the journal encompasses, in 2009 we
changed to a membership organization. This framework, which underscores
connection and shared purpose, actually represents a return to SP’s
original mission and a realignment with its nonprofit structure. We
invite readers to participate in Studio Potter as members. Members will
enjoy the following benefits and, most importantly, will be supporting
Studio Potter’s unique legacy and promising future:

  • Two 96 page issues of The Studio Potter journal
  • One free back issue. view all issues here
  • Discounted price on available back issues
  • Members-only access to “limited” back issues, while they last
  • Receipt of the SP electronic newsletter
  • Access to online versions of select back issues and articles (an ongoing project)
