Like no other ceramic museum in the country. A mix of historical shows, retail and a massive studio open to the novice and professional. The founder clearly has a passion for the medium.
The people that work here really love art and do their best to make sure you as a consumer or just a person of interest enjoy everything about your experience here.
If you like to see the work of true artisans, this is for you. The ceramics ranged from exquisite classic work to whimsical avant gard. There is also a gorgeous mural by California artist, Millard Sheets. We were there for about an hour, a few weeks ago, and I am still thinking about some of the amazing pieces I saw. The art is well placed and easy to get around. Well worth the trip!This museum is located in downtown Pomona and is convenient to some good restaurants and lots of antique stores, so you can really make a day of it.
They have a very large facility here with gallery showroom, gift store, ample parking, constantly changing displays, very large studio with kilns, throwing wheels, glazes galore, they feature displays from artist around the world.
Works by Jim and Nan McKinnell as evidence of their active role in the field of ceramic art as leading American potters. Show includes works of other influential mid-twentieth artists/teachers from their personal collection. AMOCA is building a permanent collection of ceramic art.
This is a really fun, intimate museum. They are currently working on having a permanent collection; however, in the main gallery are revolving works featuring some of the best ceramic artists, such as Elaine Katzer, Betty Davenport Ford and Chris Gustin (to name just a few!). You can also see works from the old masters such as Peter Voulkos and Paul Soldner. Attached to the museum is a wonderful studio where you can see ceramic artists working. The studio also offers a variety of classes.
This is one of the best museums in Southern California. It's not big but the exhibitions could rival the best anywhere. There are also artist studios inside the museum that offers workshops. Friendly and cozy environment. I love this place!
I've been there three times - twice as part of an event and once just with my wife. I would take a visiting friend if they were interested too.Nice ceramics museum and artists studios too.
Interesting museum of ceramics. Showing British ceramics when I visited. Has studios for potters. Also interesting exhibit of German ceramics, a lot of steins.
Interesting setting in an old bank. Interesting unique items in the gift shop. Turned in some ceramic tiles for firing. Very helpful
