From Oven and Kiln 2012

By Debra Sloan

The 8th From Oven and Kiln dinner/auction
will be held on Thursday, April 19, 2012 at
the Royal Vancouver Yacht Club. A delicious
buffet dinner will be served to 150 guests.
There will be a display and silent auction of
the distinctive artworks donated by B.C.'s
leading ceramic artists. The auction will be
ongoing throughout the evening, promoted by
our special host, TBA. The prestigious $5000
NWCEF Award of Excellence will be presented
and the winning artist’s slide show will follow.
‘The evening will finish off with the traditional
parade and exchange of dessert plates kindly
made and donated by B.C. potters.

We hope you will consider attending because
the NWCF mission is to support the level of
discourse and quality of B.C. ceramics through
the sponsorship of educational opportunities
for potters in B.C. Our fundraising is
what makes possible the Maureen Wright
Scholarship fund, our successful NWCF
Speaker Series, the keynote speaker in the
Triennial Canadian Clay Symposium, and the

prestigious NWCF Award. Please go to our
website www.nwcf.ca for more information
on these activities,

After April 10, 2012, the online catalogue of
the donated ceramic artworks for the auction
will be available for viewing on our website
