Village Potters Guild is now accepting applications for membership from experienced potters. Membership allows potters to meet and work with other potters. Members are given keys to the guild building and can use the studio at any time except during scheduled classes. They earn points for guild work and use these points for firing their work. All members are eligible to participate in guild sales. We welcome members who display a cooperative spirit and are able to devote time to working for the guild as well as making their work at the guild.
Guild members are chosen without regard to race or religion. Cooperative spirit and technical proficiency are considerations for membership. The guild is owned and operated by the members. Current by-laws and membership responsibilities require that members:
Pay dues on time
Attend guild meetings
Clean guild areas as scheduled
Make glazes
Participate in committees (e.g. glazing, social media, holiday market)
Monitor open studio sessions
The Village Potters Guild is a non-profit corporation, formed to promote and develop the art of ceramics and pottery activities of every form. Our activities stimulate further community participation, awareness and appreciation of pottery as an art form. We sponsor demonstrations, seminars, exhibitions and instruction for the personal and cultural enhancement of the participants and our community.
