Our mission is to create a working studio environment so artists can experience creative independence and have the opportunity to collaborate with others and connect to the community.

The Black Bean Ceramic Art Center opened its doors to Bay Area artists on November 6, 2009. It's located at 561 Emory Street (off Coleman between Taylor and Hedding) San Jose, CA 95110. Our telephone number is 408-642-5757. The art center is located in a 5,100 square foot building with easy access to major freeways and plenty of parking.

Black Bean Ceramic Art Center is membership-based and open 24/7 so you can experience the art of working with clay whenever you feel inspired!

The center provides all the equipment: pottery wheels, kilns, slab rollers, extruders and an individual shelf for your work. Members have the freedom to buy and use the clay of their choice from our center or another vendor.  We will also educate all members in the freedom and joy of firing their own works of art.
