About Zen and Now

The Zen and Now Clay Co-op is a group of artists and crafts people who make and fire pottery and sculpture in a safe, communal setting.  Our goals are to have a place to work in an environment of camaraderie, consensus, and cooperation and to keep a clean, safe,  well-equipped, and organized workspace.

Although the Zen and Now Clay Co-op is not set up for production potters, the Co-Op Studio is equipped for all of its Members to make work for sale.

The members at Zen and Now are a diverse group of fun-loving folks who find their Zen in the clay and camaraderie at the  Co-Op. Current Board of Directors: Lynn Kricun, Deb Simms, Erin Moore, Ann Dellinger and Mary Meacham.
