In June 2023, St Lawrence College and the Friends of Pottery made a generous donation of ceramic equipment to begin our community studio in Athens, Ontario. We are so grateful to have the startup equipment of:
-
8 Wheels
-
1 Electric Kiln
-
1 Slab Roller
-
1 Wedging Table
We have secured a studio location that needs new outfitting to accommodate the utilities to run a studio this large. The collective needs $30,000 for start-up costs which include electrical and plumbing.
We have received some donations and loans from board members and are working at generating funds through community fundraising events. We cannot do this alone however, and are asking for others to help. If you want to be a part of the start-up of the CSC, no donation is too small!
We can now accept online donations through e-transfer and credit card:
-
E-Transfer: Auto-direct deposits are accepted directly at claystudiocollective@gmail.com
-
Credit Card: We accept credit card donations above through our website.
Please contact the CSC Membership Director, Christina Lenihan, at 613-803-6486 or email us directly at claystudiocollective@gmail.com if you have any questions.
Thank you so much for your support and recognizing the value of ceramic arts in our community!
