A group of South Asian ceramic artists who sought a space for community, connection, and belonging.
“Our mission at SACC is to unite and empower South Asian ceramic artists, in the diaspora and beyond, by providing a platform for connection, collaboration, and knowledge-sharing to support growth and innovation within the field.”

Our community doesn’t stop at meetups and posts — it thrives online too. The South Asian Clay Collective Discord is where real connection happens: meaningful conversations, shared resources, feedback, advice, and behind-the-scenes process talk. It’s a growing space for South Asian ceramic artists to support and learn from each other in a more intimate, engaged setting.

It’s free to join — sign up and stay connected, no matter where you are in the world.
