The event taking place at the Dundas Lions Memorial Community Centre is a part of the Arts Dundas Weekend. The sale will run from November 3 to November 5, 2023.
During the fundraiser, potters will donate bowls that will be available for purchase at $30 each, and all proceeds will go to support Hamilton Foodshare. This initiative reflects the guild’s commitment to giving back to the community.
More than 100 potters will be showcasing their unique pottery creations all in one location, offering a diverse selection for attendees to explore and purchase. Fiona Wheelband is the featured artist at this year’s event, adding an extra layer of artistic depth to the showcase.
