The on-line auction will run from December 1-December 10.
We've invited 100 of the best potters from around
the country to send work
to be fired in the Anagama Wood Kiln this past June and October. Each has generously
donated theirwork to support the facilities and programs of the Watershed Center for the Ceramic Arts.
Watershed is a premier arts center located
in Newcastle, Maine. It's mission is to provide both time
and space
for artists to work in clay. An international program located in
the beautiful coastal
Boothbay region of Maine, Watershed offers
residencies for artists to explore new ideas and
possibilities within
their work.
All proceeds from this event will go to help fund the
programs and facilities at Watershed .
100% of all sales from the Raffle and On-line Auction will go to benefit Watershed!
