You can pick up some early Christmas presents and support local artisans, all in one spot.
The Burnaby Potters’ Guild is holding its winter sale and show on Nov. 12 and 13 at the Capitol Hill Community Hall.
The guild is a long-established working group of ceramic artists based in Burnaby, working out of the Shadbolt Centre for the Arts.
“It promotes the appreciation of clay arts by making studio space available to potters and clay artists, participating in community events, and holding regular exhibitions and sales,” a press release explains. “Members work together to produce glazes and fire their own ware in a variety of kilns, using many techniques and constantly experimenting.”
The guild holds two major shows per year: in the summer and before Christmas. Both shows include a collection of handmade pottery in a variety of styles and techniques.
The winter show will also feature a raffle. The Vancouver Symphony Orchestra has donated two tickets to be raffled off, and money raised will help to purchase additional kiln equipment.
The show runs 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. both days. Capitol Hill Community Hall is at 361 South Howard Ave. in North Burnaby. Parking and admission are free.
