Our Story
Just like our customers
We are artists, teachers, students, and makers running a ceramic supply house in Carrollton, Texas. Here is who we are and why it matters to the work you make.
Our People
Owned and run by practicing artists and teachers
American Ceramic Supply Co. exists because the people who run it are the people who use what it sells. We are artists, teachers, students, makers, and business owners, and we built the supply house we wished we had: a full-line catalog you can actually get help with, in our own corner of Dallas-Fort Worth.
That difference shows up in small ways and large ones. It is the reason we can talk you through a kiln decision instead of just shipping a box. It is why we service the kilns we sell, deliver heavy clay across the metroplex so it arrives intact, and spend real time with Texas art teachers who are trying to make a classroom program work. We want to share your vision and help you become successful in your journey. That is not a tagline, it is who answers the phone.
The mural in our showroom: do more of what makes your soul happy.
What We Believe
Three things that guide us
We are makers first
The advice you get from us comes from people who throw, glaze, and fire. We have made the mistakes, so you do not have to repeat all of them.
We serve a community, not a cart
Studios, schools, hobbyists, and production potters across DFW. We support the whole ceramics ecosystem of the metroplex, including the teachers who grow the next generation of it.
We keep the craft local
Clay and kilns are heavy and fragile. A local partner who delivers, services, and shows fired work in a real showroom is worth more than any national catalog.
Authorized Dealer
The brands serious studios specify by name
We carry an authorized, full-line catalog across every major ceramic manufacturer, from kilns and wheels to clay, glaze, equipment, and tools.

Come see fired work in person
Our Carrollton showroom features pieces from local makers using the clay and glazes we carry, so you can see how a line actually behaves before you commit a kiln load to it. Stop by, or call and talk to a real maker.
