The roots of the Southwest Section go back to 1945 when eleven brick makers gathered at the University of Texas and organized the Ceramic Society of the Southwest. In 1951, this group was granted a charter by The American Ceramic Society as the Southwest Section. Its purpose is to promote all ceramic arts and sciences. Semi-annual meetings of two or three days include presentations of symposia, technical papers, suppliers' exhibits, plant tours, a banquet, social program, golf outing, and companions' program. Suppliers are invited to display their products at tabletop exhibits.
The Southwest Section encompasses Texas, Arkansas, Oklahoma, and Louisiana.
