Clayroom’s studios are centered around providing an inspiring shared space for people to be creative and explore using their tactile senses, and they host monthly artist talks and demos from Bay Area artists and visiting ceramic artists. The studios serve as a beacon of bringing people together and uplifting people through community outreach and events. The Waller Artist Residency Program (WARP) is offered to Black emerging ceramic artists for 6 months with weekly mentorship and a concluding artist gallery show, and Clayroom SoMa offers scholarship programs for BIPOC and/or LGBTQIA+ people, especially those aged 18–25.
