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!
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.
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.
