A community-run clay collective – based behind the Mullumbimby Drill Hall – is holding a ceramics, soup and chai night on Friday, July 11 to raise money for new kilns.
New kilns needed
Gallery/events coordinator, Faith Avidor, told The Echo the 50 members are in need of new kilns, as the current old kilns are on their ‘last legs’. Faith says, ‘The maintenance and upkeep of our operation relies completely on our members, who volunteer their time’.
‘We have pottery wheels, work benches, storage space, two old kilns, and a gallery. We all make bowls and cups for sale, and on the night, we offer complimentary soup or chai to fill up any bought cups or bowls’. Faith adds, ‘Over the last three years, our not-for-profit organisation has run successful ceramics soup and chai nights’.
The night runs from 5pm till 8pm and everyone is welcome.
