On top of our regular shop hours, our Pottery Store will be open Sunday, December 1, from Noon – 5:00 p.m. We still have a renewed selection after our recent Holiday Sale, so come on down to fulfill any of your gift list needs. We also offer gift certificates for those hard-to-buy-for folks or for taking a class.
Holiday Sale Thanks!
Our Sales Committee and participating members would very much like to thank all of you who came to our sale last weekend. We were delighted by the many comments on how lovely the place looked and, of course, by all of your purchases. We hope that these gifts (for yourself or others – we won’t tell) will serve you well in good health. Keep your eye out for news regarding our Spring Sale and a return of Celebrate Ceramics next year as we celebrate our 30th anniversary as a Guild. If you missed out on our sale, please check out our Pottery shop which is open all year round.
Summer Camp News!
By popular demand, we have added a second Teen week to our popular camp program. We accept teens from 12-17 into this short week of intensive clay building and creative expression. See our camp page for details.
Also, we are pleased to introduce our two counsellors for this year, Mackenzie Barker and Katie Brazeau. They are both potters and members of the Guild, and Mackenzie is an experienced teacher. We know your kids will learn a lot and have a great time with these two heading up the camp weeks.

Holiday Wishes
As Chair of the Board for KPG, I would like to take a minute to thank all of our wonderful customers, students and members. We never thought we would grow as much as we have during Covid and we are very thankful for all of you. This year has been the first full year of classes, sales and summer camp, since 2019. We have been very happy to welcome all of you back and introduce your new friends to our great shop, teachers and members. We look forward to seeing you again in 2024.
The Guild will be closed for business and regular operations from December 24, 2023 – January 3, 2024, opening again on January 4th. Classes will begin the week of January 8th and as of this writing, there are still a few spaces left.
From all of us, to all of you, we hope you have a healthy and happy holiday season, and we wish you the brightest, and most creative New Year.
Holiday Sale Thanks!
We have to say that we were blown away this past weekend by all the wonderful visitors to our sale. Despite it being the touted Black Friday weekend, we were humbled to discover how many of you love to shop locally. Our potters and our Guild are very thankful. The shop is still open until December 22 should you need another gift on your list.
KPG Annual Holiday Sale This Weekend!
Our annual Holiday Sale begins tomorrow (Friday Nov 24) at 10am! We have 20 members participating including 5 newer members who have never been in the sale before. The studio looks fabulous with all the colours and lights and we are so looking forward to seeing you this weekend!
Throwing Large Workshop
This is for any intermediate wheel throwing potter looking to get over the hump of that tricky amount of 1kg – 1.5kg (2.2 – 3.3 lbs) and throw larger. We will be looking at most aspects of throwing larger, from working on bigger forms to trimming and glazing. This is a short 3 week intensive workshop, taking place on Tuesday afternoons, Noon – 2:30 from November 21 – December 5. Concentration will be on bowl forms, but other forms may be considered depending on the student’s goals. Karina Bates is your teacher for this workshop and she regularly teaches the intermediate/advanced classes here at the Guild.
Cost for this workshop is $169.50 for members (inc HST) and $186.45 for non-members (inc HST). All materials and firing are included. Registration can be made in the Pottery Shop or via etransfer – please contact our Admin, Donna, for details.
