Join the Potters' Guild for its first summer sale, Wednesday 14th July from 4-9 pm at the studio, 10320 94th Avenue, (side door of the Artspost).

Three years into the studio operation newer potters, after lots of practice. are beginning to look for a market for their work. More experienced potters will also have work for sale.  Regardless this is your opportunity to purchase local art/craft work for yourself or for gifts. Work is reasonably priced and shows a variety of techniques. Some of the work is that made for demonstration purposes in class so if you are interested in taking a class this would be a good opportunity to see what is in store for you.

The sale supports the growth of the local potters and ceramic artists and assists the guild in maintaining the studio for classes and for community member use.
