“Ceramics is a thriving art-making community here,” says Studio Arts Manager Audra Clayton of the Pittsburgh Center for Arts and Media in the city’s Shadyside neighborhood.  For over three quarters of a decade, this renowned institution has been synonymous with art in Pittsburgh, offering instruction, encouragement, and support to novices and professionals in a wide range of media.  What began in the 1940s as the Arts and Craft Center and reimaged in the 1980s to the Pittsburgh Center for the Arts is now the Pittsburgh Center for Arts and Media in the 21^st century, embracing new technologies along with the old.  One of many programs at PCA&M, the Ceramics Studio has been a stalwart occupant of the basement workspaces and a staunch component of the institution through its many transitions.
