Appreciation Night

What a fun night of festive treats and surprises... even Santa himself made an

appearance!

The biggest surprise? A brand new wheel was unveiled, donated by Diana Earle, from

her Clay Coaching Series. Diana Earle has been offering pottery mentorship courses since 2022, with all profits going towards the Clay Studio Collective's ongoing studio improvements. These have included an extensive Ceramics Library and a set of banding wheels. What an incredible surprise to receive a brand new wheel for our studio! We are so excited to use our new wheel, and grateful for this amazing gift.

We are so fortunate for everyone in our member's community to keep the CSC running smoothly, and enthusiastic about it's future. From accounting, inventory tracking, cleaning, repairs, outreach programs, member events and more, we could not do it without our dedicated members!

To show our appreciation, we commissioned handmade wooden pottery molds to present as gifts to our amazing volunteers. We hope you make some amazing pieces with them, and know each time you use it how much we appreciate you!

We also have to send a very special thank you to all who helped make the event such a success! Thank you to Nadine for making the studio spotless, to Donna W and Sylvie for the food prep and curating the most delicious nibblies we've ever seen, Donna H

and Lynda for decorating and putting together a wonderful POP-Up Gallery of member's work, and Kivi for MC-ing all night.

And lastly, thank you to everyone who brought wine & food to share! It was a gathering of good cheer, and we can't wait to see you all in 2026!
