Welcome
to the Potters' Guild of Hamilton and Region.
Established 1971 in Hamilton, Ontario by thirty two enthusiastic potters,
the Guild membership has grown to over three hundred. The Guild is composed
of professional and amateur potters. Many members have their own studios
making utilitarian and decorative vessels for smoke, raku, electric
and gas reduction firing.
The Guild has many activities. Monthly meetings are held September through
May with a speaker. Fall and spring sales of members' work finance the
running of the Guild. Twice yearly workshops give the opportunity to
extend skills. A biennial juried exhibition allows members to show their
work to the public. Since its inception the Guild has recognized the
importance of giving back to the community hence yearly it makes donations
to clay related organizations.
Our Mandate is:
To promote, publicize and encourage the development of ceramic art
and crafts in Hamilton and region. To promote, organize and sponsor
educational programmes, lectures, demonstrations, literary and video
displays. The aim is to improve the skill and artistry in the ceramic
arts and crafts in the region.
