The New Mexico Potters and Clay Artists aim to promote excellence and creativity in the clay arts, to further their understanding and appreciation throughout New Mexico. They support these objectives by fostering educational programs, arranging exhibition opportunities, and providing a forum for the exchange of ideas, information, and inspiration.
