Funding for Ceramists

Rolland went to NCECA with a Maureen
Wright Scholarship. These funds are avail-
able for all residents of British Columbia
seeking further education in the ceramic
arts.

The North-West Ceramics Foundation isa
charity dedicated to education in the ce-
ramic medium. The Foundation dispenses
scholarships, holds a biennial fundraiser
From Oven to Kiln, and sponsors the
keynote speaker at the Canadian Clay Sym-
posium. Fund raising events are supported
by the clay community and ultimately
benefit the community itself.

The next From Oven te Kiln will be held
in April. We are looking for donations for
the silent auction, large center piece vases
for tables and, of course, dessert plates of
a9" diameter. Tickets for the event will be
available in the New Year and the exact
date, time and price of ticket will be
announced in the February newsletter,

Apply now for the $500 Potters Guild of
BC Scholarship, awarded once a year in
March, and the $200 Maureen Wright
Scholarship, which is dispensed up to five
times a year at any time for any workshop.
Applications are accepted by the Founda-
tion in writing only. Details of how to
apply and where to send your application
