Merritt Ceramics, like its local namesake, Lake Merritt, is a place for gathering. Established as a studio reflecting the diversity of the Oakland experience, MC provides energy and welcome to all who participate. Instructors encourage everyone to sculpt their own unique artistic abilities. Techniques are demonstrated and, importantly, the centering work with clay blends the hours spent into associations and friendships. Merritt Ceramics strives to enhance the culture of art in Oakland's neighborhoods through collaboration with guest artists, community events, and ceramic education.
