* Background and Accomplishments
The Roswell Clay Collective is a volunteer organization composed of students and instructors connected to Roswell Art Center West. The organization was formed to support the community’s growing interests in ceramic arts education. An outgrowth of the Roswell Visual Arts Center(RVAC), it works hand in hand with that center to maintain Art Center West and to enhance its educational program in every conceivable way.
The Roswell Clay Collective was instrumental in turning the Malcolm farmhouse at the Leita Thompson Memorial Park into a modern and extraordinarily well-equipped ceramics studio. In conjunction with Roswell Visual Arts a division of Roswell Recreation and Parks Department, the Clay Collective renovated the 7,000 square foot farmhouse, adding two studios, a beautifully designed gallery, two glaze rooms, workshop rooms, and a kiln yard. Its most recent contributions have been a large front-loading electric kiln, a gas reduction kiln, and a soda kiln.
