100 years Keeping Crafts Alive!
The Springfield Ceramics and Crafts Club turns 100 in May 2024. Over the years both crafting and membership has changed but our mission stays constant "the pursuit of the teaching of ceramics and crafts in their various phases, and through such teaching, to become involved in charitable projects and programs that will benefit the community." The purpose is educational and community service.
