Give JOY to Others!


Donations keep the potter's wheels turning, the kilns firing - and most importantly - they keep clay in the hands of young and old from all walks of life.

By giving a gift to the 2014 annual campaign you are helping to secure another remarkable year of high quality programming across the board - exhibitions, education, residency program and community arts.

With each donation, a picture of a joyous adult or child experiencing clay will go up on our "wall of JOY". We look forward to filling it by the end of December! 

Click here to make a donation today. Large or small, every gift makes a difference! You can also call our Development office directly and make a donation by phone, 410 578 1919 x14.
