To Teach, To Learn, To Share
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!
We are ecstatic to announce that we have officially sold out for our first fundraiser. If you missed out, we do intend to do this again, and certainly you can visit our Pottery Shop at 993 Talwood Dr. any time throughout the year. Just check our main page for current shop hours.
Celebrate Ceramics is only one week away now, on Friday April 8 from 7-9 p.m. at the Lions Centre in Peterborough. Live entertainment for the evening will be provided by jazz pianist Rob Phillips.
Don’t forget to bring cash. There will be a raffle which you don’t want to miss out on!!! Also, please note that additional beverages (after your complimentary drink) can be purchased at the bar.
We haven’t been able to show you everyone who has donated to Celebrate Ceramics, so please enjoy this sneak peak.
I have been “potting” for more than 15 years and continue to expand my “potting” horizons. I love making functional items that have purpose and can be used everyday. With the support of the KPG Mentorship Program and Darlene Malcolm-Moran, I have been exploring the use of different clay bodies and different styles of decorating/glazing. I am really thrilled with the results!
We have some great new pieces in from Heather Brooks. Heather has been an active member of our Guild for over five years and is currently on our Board of Directors. You can check out Heather’s work in our online store or in person from Tues – Fri, 1:00 – 5:00 p.m.
Heather has been working in clay for over 15 years. She loves to create functional pieces that can be enjoyed every day. Shifting between the wheel and hand building, it allows Heather to keep in tune with the clay while creating a diverse collection of plates, bowls, mugs, casserole dishes and trays. She is so very flattered when someone wants to add her pottery to their home. In her opinion, this is the highest honour a potter can achieve.
Our sale continues through until 5pm on December 23rd. You can still book a half hour appointment here, or drop-in during sale hours. Our space is restricted to six visitors at a time. We are open Saturday 10 -5, Sunday – Wednesday 11-5p.m.
Heather enjoys working in mostly red stoneware and making functional pieces for all. Her pottery is oven, microwave, dishwasher and refrigerator safe and meant to be used and enjoyed everyday. Heather also recently retired and volunteered to join our Board of Directors.
