Information
Founded: 05/11/1999

The purpose of this Guild is to promote the clay arts through education. All facets of the clay arts will be happily discussed at meetings, Collegiums, Wars and various events (both Kingdom and non) through the Kingdom of Caid.

We are dedicated to teaching and sharing the art of ceramics both as it was done in history, in period, but as it is done now. We cover all cultures, all techniques (wheel and hand work) and all mindsets. Everyone is welcome from all parts of CAID as well as other Kingdoms.

The Guild's official start was May 11, 1999, our first meeting happening at Altavia Anniversary. Since then, the Guild has sponsored numerous classes, meetings, and has donated items to various Barony's, fund-raisers and to their Majesties largess.

2004 the Guild was made Official and the Charter was re-written.
