Really happy to be joining in this years event, I will be donating 50% of my sales to Alzheimer’s Research UK a cause that’s very close to my heart. Do keep and eye out for more information.
“In November 2020 a Leeds potter, Lorna of Lorna Gilbert Ceramics, had a wonderful idea… Having been closely involved with her favourite local charity, she was painfully aware of what an impact the pandemic was having on charities ability to fundraise.
She pondered on the idea of strength in numbers, wondering whether the generosity and kindness that had been shown throughout the pandemic could be extended to raise precious funds for the charities who support our communities in good times and in bad. She reached out to her creative community via Instagram and was met with a resounding “Yes!”
What started as a local idea quickly transformed into an international event, with famous potters like Keith Brymer Jones, Sue Pryke and Kate Malone MBE, most famous for Channel 4’s The Great Pottery Throw Down, joining in to support charities all over the country.
It was a wonderful snowball of an event and over £17,000 was raised for charities around the world.”
