We were honoured to have Liz Willoughby presenting on Monday, May 13th at the Kawartha Potters Guild. She was very interesting and showed us how she puts together her Uwers with their spouts. Very good tips from a pro.
Link to our spot on CHEX TV!
Thank you to the lovely people at CHEX who aired a program about our Guild on Monday May 6th. Sorry this video is no longer available!

We’re on TV!
Check out CHEX TV on Monday May 6th at 5pm for the visit to our studio. Rita Nave and cameraman Kevin Wheeler came to the guild this morning at 9am and had a go at throwing a pot, and looked around our studio and the gallery. What good sports they were!
Here are a couple of images of June giving a throwing lesson.
Two new courses coming soon…
We are going to be introducing two new courses in the near future. “Slip Decoration” with George Stewart and “Throwing” with Darlene Malcolm-Moran. And if you have seen the beautiful work by both of these potters, you will want to be part of these courses!
More information as soon as the dates are firmed up.
Critical Thinking
Angelo di Petta came to our guild to talk to us in April and discussed critical thinking and how to make intelligent comments about a work of art or a design. He looked at a few pieces of pottery that a few brave members had brought in and discussed this theme.
He kindly gave us a handout about this and we share it here.
Critical Thinking
What happens if your clay freezes?
Hopefully, we are on our way to spring and warmer weather, but a question I saw recently on our LinkedIn page came up and it was one I’ve wondered about myself! Turns out it is all about those clay platelets!

Family Clay Time Fun at KPG – Feb 18
It was a crowded and fun day at the Kawartha Potters Guild on February 18th this year. We had 23 people signed up to come to our class to make creatures, and what a lovely bunch of creatures they made! It is a good time to stress that you must PreRegister for a class ahead of time to avoid disappointment. We will not hold any spaces for people who have not registered and paid ahead of time.
Thanks to all who came out, better be quick and sign up now for our next class!
