Spring Sale Committee Interest Meeting
Can you believe it? Our Spring Sale will be at Stormwater Studios in a few short months - from May 1st - 3rd!
Whether it'll be your first time participating in an MCAS sale, or your umpteenth time, if you're considering how you can become more involved in making MCAS sales a success for all artists, participating in the Sale Committee is a great way to learn more and help grow member capacity! Consider joining our Spring Sale manager, Tennyson Corley, for an interest meeting Tuesday, January 28th at 6:30PM at the Columbia Art Center, 1227 Taylor, where we hold our regular member meetings. Can't make it, but want to learn more? Get in touch with Tennyson by replying to our social post or sending us an email.
In the meantime, you can also learn more about the sale committee roles by scrolling through these images - and know there's an opportunity to assist, too, without being the lead - which can be a great way to learn the ropes while trying out something new.
Monthly Turnout
Turnouts were created as a way for us to have consistent connections with one another outside of our making and meeting times. These events happen on the last day of each month (usually at 6pm, but check back for location + time updates) at inclusive venues around the city. We try to thoughtfully choose spaces that are large enough for a group, have a chill vibe for good conversation, and don't require a purchase of any kind just to hang out.
Monthly Meeting
Join us for our regular monthly meeting! We’ll hear from our speaker, Tiffany Thomas, who is a potter and painter, at 6:30PM. After Tiffany presents, we’ll break for snacks and social, before returning for any regular business.

CANCELLED: January Monthly Meeting
The January MCAS meeting has been cancelled due to anticipated winter weather; please make plans to join us in February!
Join us for our regular monthly meeting! Hear from our speaker, Chandler Cox, on product photography at 6:30. After Chandler’s presentation, we’ll break briefly for snacks and social, and then continue with regular business.
About Chandler:
Chandler notes that growing up, the printed photographs and home videos her family kept provided a window into our everyday life, allowing her to relive simple yet meaningful moments—like family dinners, movie nights, or playing outside in pajamas. These memories shaped her photography style, which focuses on capturing life's authenticity. In 2015, she bought her first camera, which has since become a key part of her creative journey. Despite exploring other careers, photography has remained her true passion, and today, she is grateful to pursue it professionally. She gravitates towards working with artists, small businesses, and interior designers. She loves capturing their work and/or product authentically for the world to see!
A reminder, too, that we'll start with Chandler's presentation at 6:30PM, and break for snacks/social after we hear from Chandler. Membership info coming to your emails soon, or plan to join for 2025 at the meeting - see y'all Tuesday!

Workshop With Linda Drye (Saturday)
Inventive Slab Building

This is a one-day workshop from 10AM - 4PM at the Columbia Art Center; registration will open to non-MCAS members October 5th.

“I am a self taught potter working with red or white earthenware clay. My work is primarily hand built and finished with colored slip and hand painted using underglazes. Inspired by nature, my pieces are constantly evolving and far from perfect which is a short coming I have learned to embrace. “
