A Beautiful day for a Tea Party

Well it was a gorgeous day and we had an amazing turnout!! Thank you to everyone who came out to our Mad Potters Tea Party. We had about 100 people come out to our event. We actually had to put another table out to accommodate everyone.

Margo Jamieson played jazz music on the piano which was beautiful. The tea, cookies and tea sandwiches were wonderful. There were over 200 mugs to choose from and we had 11 beautiful teapots in our auction.

Hope to see everyone again next year!

Pottery Show and Sales

Spring is here and all the Guild's are preparing for their Show and Sales! Spring Show and Sales have proven to be difficult for us as well as other Guilds, some of which have cancelled their spring shows this year. We are hoping to be at the Streetsville Bread and Honey Festival in June for their big craft sale. Stay tuned for more information.

You can also check out all the other Guild Sales which I am sure will be spectacular.

A Night with Zsuzsa Monostory

Zsuzsa Monostory joined us in January to tell us all about her passion for clay, how it began and whats she's doing now. We were very happy to have a passed Mississauga Potter back into the studio to share her passion with us.

Zsuzsa was born in Hungary and was a Biologist before discovering a love for the process or making pottery and Raku firing. She ended her career as a biologist to become a full time potter.

Zsuzsa currently works out of Williams Mill Visual Art Centre in Glen Williams http://www.williamsmill.com/homepage.html.

Fusion membership will be encouraged to hear this good news of yet another instance of clay being acknowledged as art.
