Earth & Fire Educational Foundation

Discover the connection between Earth, Science, and Art

At the Earth & Fire Educational Foundation, we believe that creativity begins with understanding. Our mission is to bridge geology and the ceramic arts through education, research, and community programs that promote sustainable use of earth materials.

What We Do

Educate. Inspire. Sustain.

We offer hands-on workshop, field experiences, and educational resources that connect artists and students with the science behind their materials.

• 🔬 Workshops & Courses: Explore the geology of clays, glazes, and minerals.
• 🏞️ Field Experiences: Visit geological sites and learn how materials form in nature.
• 🎨 Creative Collaboration: Connect with artists and scientists working toward sustainability.

Why It Matters

Art and Earth Are Intertwined.

Every clay body, glaze, and pigment has a geological story. By understanding those origins, artists can create more sustainably and with deeper respect for the planet. The Earth & Fire Education Foundation empowers creators to make informed choices that benefit both art and Earth.
