Love pottery? The Burnaby Potters’ Guild is marking its 40th anniversary with a winter show and sale this weekend.
The show runs 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 11 and Sunday, Nov. 12 at the Capitol Hill Community Hall, 361 South Howard Ave.
The guild has its roots at the then Burnaby Arts Centre, when 10 advanced pottery students decided to get together to form a group. These days, the guild works out of historic Mathers House, at Shadbolt Centre for the Arts, and members work together to produce glazes and fire their work in a variety of kilns.
The guild holds two major shows a year, at summer and before Christmas.
As a special bonus at this upcoming anniversary show, visitors will have a chance to win a commemorative pot (with purchase, while supplies last).
The Vancouver Symphony Orchestra has also donated two tickets that the guild will be raffling off to raise money for additional kiln equipment. Tickets are $3 each, or two for $5 – and, with the tickets valued at $144, that’s a steal for whoever wins. (The tickets don’t expire until June 2018, so you’ll have plenty of time to book a show.)
