Dear Friends,

It has been over a year since the floodwaters swept through and destroyed our beloved Village Potters Clay Center. The road back has been long, with so many unexpected obstacles, but it has also been filled with hope, resilience, friendship and tremendous generosity.

Thanks to you, we now have our new home at Westgate. The walls are up, the kilns are installed with hoods and vent systems, and our studios are taking shape.

Before we can open our doors, there is still important last-minute work to be done and bills to be paid. We have just have a few snags with final inspections by the city.

These are the final pieces that will ensure The Village Potters Clay Center is not only fully recovered, but safe and ready to thrive again.

Every gift given now directly supports these final crucial steps. Your donation helps turn on the lights, water, and gas; and supports our start up staff. We have got this and it has been made possible by you.

If you believe in our mission, in resilience, in the power of art to heal and connect, and in the beauty of a creative community, we invite you to support us in this final push. Together, we will open our doors and begin living the next chapter of The Village Potters Clay Center.

With deepest gratitude,

Sarah Wells Rolland and all The TVP Community

The Village Potters Clay Center

Our New Home

Our new classroom-The Moore Studio-dedicated to Julie Moore, the late wife of Ken Moore. Julie dedicated her life to making pottery and teaching beginners. She loved helping others experience clay for the first time. Ken has become a dear friend to Sarah and George, and is also a friend and benefactor of our new foundation.
