Tickets are $75 and available at Kawartha Potters Guild at 993 Talwood Dr.

Attendees at the fundraiser will be entered into a draw. When their number is called they will be able to chose a piece of donated pottery to take home.

Guests can also enjoy live music, complimentary food and a glass of wine.

Those that purchase a $75 ticket can bring a friend for an extra $25, though they will not be eligible to bring home a piece of pottery.

Pottery that has been donated to the fundraiser is currently on display at the Kawartha Potters Guild. Pieces can be viewed Tues – Fri: 1-5 p.m. or by appointment with Donna O'Brien, administrator@kawarthapottersguild.com.

The event will be hosted April 8, 7-9 p.m. at the Lions Club, 347 Burnham St.

This weekend marked the grand opening of the Kawartha Potters Guild new permanent location at 993 Talwood Drive. The 4,000 square foot space offers studio space for rent, a variety of classes and an upcoming Summer Day Camp (starting July 8th).

The Mayor himself showed up for a ribbon cutting ceremony and a chance to make his own plate out of clay. He surprised everyone when he turned his ordinary bowl into a pie plate, which will be auctioned off at the YWCA Empty Bowls event on June 21st. Drop on in to see and purchase work from local potters, or consider attending a class.
