Thank you for supporting your local non-profit ceramic art studio!

Ruby’s Clay Studio & Gallery was founded 58 years ago, and has been in its current location in the heart of the Castro since 1967.  Ruby’s offers a place for creativity and community, serving a range of studio users from preschoolers whose work is fired for free as part of our Community Outreach program, to adults taking a clay class for the first time, and to those that are hobby and professional artists.

Even before the CoViD-19 stay-at-home order was given, it was not easy for a small not-for-profit arts organization to exist in San Francisco.  Ruby’s Clay Studio & Gallery has kept studio costs for its users as low as possible over the years by enlisting hundreds of hours of volunteer service and through careful financial planning.  Artists working in clay are often dependent on sharing space and necessary equipment.  We are asking for your help in continuing to keep Ruby’s Clay Studio & Gallery an arts center whose objectives are to promote community appreciation of the ceramic arts and to encourage self-expression and technical and artistic development through exhibitions, classes, and the resources provided by a shared learning facility for many years to come.
