DiamondCore® Studio Relief Fund
Supporting Artists When It Matters Most
At DiamondCore® Tools, we believe clay has the power to connect people, build community, and foster creativity. Pottery studios are more than workspaces, they are places where ideas are formed, skills are shared, and artists bring their visions to life.
When disasters strike, whether from wildfires, floods, hurricanes, earthquakes, or other unexpected events, artists can lose the very tools they rely on to continue their work. Rebuilding a studio takes time, resources, and support from the community.
While state, federal, and local disaster assistance programs can eventually help, they often take time and involve significant paperwork and administrative processes. Artists and studios in crisis shouldn’t have to wait months to begin rebuilding their creative practice.
We don’t believe in making people wait in their time of need.
That’s why we created the DiamondCore® Studio Relief Fund—to offer immediate support and help artists get back to working with clay as quickly as possible.

Our goal is simple:
