To be a potter is to understand the beauty of using clay and the imagination to create distinguished works of art. Alliance of Pottery Artists Worldwide Association is a collection of pottery artists from around the world, novice and advanced, known and the unknown. All having one thing in common, the love of the clay body.

Here you will find the most underlying foundation of humanities being. The need to create art. Artist's display their works, share their acomplishments and offer you an opportunity to view some of their most creative works.A.P.A.W.A. was envisioned in 2001 by Ti Phillips, owner of Yakimono Toki Studio. The idea, to bring pottery artists together as a world collection, began with a few pottery friends and is growing as you read. Potter's from America, Japan, Africa and so many more areas around the world are featured. A.P.A.W.A. is a two fold idea as it is also a place to introduce those potter's who are just developing their artistic style and need a place to show their art. It is from this point that artists in pottery will unite as one in the ceramic profession. Joining together to bring the beauty of pottery to all those seeking beautiful works of art!
