This spring, we announced the retirement of our two well-loved kilns, and shared an urgent need to replace them. Our classes and outreach — offered across all age ranges and abilities — have been in high demand, often above capacity, with waitlists.
We now have new kilns and new classes thanks to artists/kiln builders Wes and Wesley Hunting of Princeton, Wisconsin and the generosity of 108 donors and grant foundations who answered our plea! We are so grateful to the support of our community!
This incredible team effort has been made possible by YOU!
Matching gift support from the Community Vision Fund, Helen Hardt Family Fund, and Raymond and Betty Smith Charitable Fund II within the Community Foundation for the Fox Valley Region. Our thanks to the Oshkosh Area Community Foundation and their Community Impact Grant for their deep support. We also thank the many donors who helped make our kiln dreams a reality!
