“Artists working together to provide equitable opportunities in the arts.” -Crafting the Future
Clay to Table’s mission involves creating community and support in our field through our online sale, as well as fundraising for CTF. We are a Crafting the Future crew, raising money by selling entries to our Collector’s Sweepstakes! Each Clay to Table artist donates a piece for our Sweepstakes and we all work together to promote the fundraiser and CTF. We are proud to say that over the past 4 years of fundraising we have raised $19,000 for CTF!
Crafting the Future is a collective of artists concerned about the lack of racial and ethnic diversity in the fields of craft, art, and design. “We started this organization because we were tired of feeling helpless. Alone we can not make change, but together we can. Working together and combining our resources, we support the careers of young, underrepresented artists by connecting them to opportunities that will help them thrive.” -CTF
Thanks so much to each of our 2024 Artists for donating their work. This year’s contest is closed.
Thanks also to Loam Marketing for donating their skills and time photographing the work- we know you love CTF as much as we do!
“At CTF, we acknowledge the importance of representation in increasing diversity in the fields of art, craft, and design. We must provide strong and inspiring examples of makers of color so that the next generation can more easily envision themselves as a part of our community.”
Watch as Crafting the Future team members work together to create a blown glass vase. They discuss their love for the material and the field as well as the impact CTF has had.
