Wood Kiln Study
A committee is being struck for a feasibility study to build a wood kiln. Most of the work and ideas exchange will be done by email with maybe two meetings and a site visit or two. The timeline is to have the study presented at the March or April meeting. If you have experience to contribute or can contribute to committee activities please view the Feasibilty Study document.

Homage was held this past June at the Carnegie Gallery. Jurors Anne Mortimer and Steve Irvine selected 69 pieces, representing 43 potters, from the 142 works submitted. In addition to our regular awards a special award, The Carnegie Tribute Award, was created to honour the Carnegie Gallery’s double anniversary- 100 years for the building and 30 years as an artist run gallery.
The Anne Sneath Memorial Best in Show ($1000) awarded to Gise Trauttmansdorff for Heading Out, framed wall piece of handbuilt raku fired kayaks (image on our home page). The Carnegie Tribute Award ($500 and a show at the Carnegie Gallery) went to Cam Fisher for Distill Life, a plate, and whiskey bottle and cup, made from local clay, fired together in an anagama kiln.
