our mission
Through education, research, programming and communication the Green Task Force will expand and advance the scope of this awareness and knowledge about environmental sustainability with ceramics and clay practices. The Green Task Force must be a dynamic and flexible force, able to meet new and changing goals, and define best and sustainable practices in the field of ceramics. We proactively strive towards racial equity, greater diversity, and thoughtful inclusion. Recognizing that sustainability and issues in equity are tied together, our practice seeks to understand and change institutional racism and implicit bias.

our history
In 2008 under the presidency of Robert Harrison the National Council on Education for the Ceramic Art (NCECA) formed the Green Task Force (GTF) to focus on the increasingly popular green/sustainability movement and how it relates to the field of ceramics. The early meetings were spent focusing on what it was the Green Task Force would do to bring forth issues of sustainability to the international community that makes up the membership of NCECA.
