Membership

Guild membership is open to everyone interested in ceramics.

• Our once monthly get-togethers offer access to our extensive library and an opportunity to learn from invited presenters.
• Our online Discussion Group quickly responds to queries ranging from glazing faults to firing problems, or any subject of interest to our members.
• Several workshops and demonstrations are offered such as our weekend.
• Fall Fire event at the end of summer. Most recently we have had the opportunity to see Steven Branfman, Paula Murray, Leta Cormier, Tim Storey working and discussing their muses.
• Other events include the fun Clay Olympics and the charity fundraiser.
• Great Bowls of Fire which earned close to $14,000 for the Food Bank this year.
• With the monthly newsletter On Fire!, the guild website (www.ottawaguildofpotters.ca) provides news and links to potters and ceramic artists. The website has a gallery of many of our members' works.
• Many of our members teach and have nearby studios which are open to visits. The studio map and teaching members can be found on our website.
• Finally, Guild members organize our fall and spring sales events which have as many as 70 participants.
• The juried exhibition of members' work is held each spring.
