The Terra Linda Ceramic Artists is a local and small studio that packs a punch. First founded in 1993 by Susan Hontalas, it changed leadership in 2017 and is now directed by Nadia Tarzi-Saccardi.

This community Ceramic arts program has grown exponentially in the last few years, and pre covid time was welcoming 90+ adult and 50+ youth students a week, causing a great artistic buzz in the neighborhood. The services TLCA provide are therapeutic and educational in nature, are community building and serve a broad range of our community, from 6 years old to 90 years old.  Many of its members are award winning artists, and some have work in galleries and private collections. 

Due to COVID19, the TLCA program is either indoors, or when a stay-at-home order is in effect is mostly online and outdoors. In the Fall of 2020 classes resumed indoors and it is our hope that we will resume indoors classes again in the coming weeks.
