Chapter of the International Association of Duncan Certified Ceramic Teachers/IAC

About Southern Stars & IADCCT

NEW…..Anyone can now join US! Due to the Mayco purchase of Duncan we are re-organizing and NOW any one can join us-no certifications are needed. We invite you to join our Southern Stars Chapter along with ICA.

IADCCT (being renamed to IAC—International Association of Ceramics) was formed by ceramic enthusiasts to further ceramic education and to support the ceramic industry.  Southern Stars is one of the many chapters that IADCCT has throughout world.

 

Our Southern Stars Chapter meets every other month at  different locations in the Los Angeles area or via conference call or online video meeting.  Meetings are on Saturdays. Our meetings normally consist of lunch and social hour followed by a business meeting and demonstration or “Make N Take”.

 

Joining our chapter along with International has many, many benefits.  Our members are very supportive of each other and strive to make our chapter meetings not only educational but fun as well. We have hosted special member only educational classes and have had special  “Summer Escape” getaways to Catalina Island, San Diego and Ventura-Anacapa Island.  Southern Stars has supported the Regional Education Program by hosting regionals in Fresno, Buena Park and in Laughlin, Nevada. We currently host a ceramic retreat every year in Laughlin, Nevada in August. 

 

Chapter dues are $15.00 per year, International Dues are $25.00 per year.  You must be a member of International to join a chapter (both dues are normally collected at the same time if you belong to a chapter). These dues are renewable on or before November 31st of each year.

 

International membership entitles you to a quarterly newsletter, a yearly charm, a listing in the annual membership directory and the privilege of attending our annual Convention along with all of the various educational programs for its members. The Convention is held in Las Vegas, Nevada and is usually 2 days filled with education, entertainment and camaraderie.  It is the most economical ceramic education available in the industry!!
