Hi, my name is Suzie and I'm fundraising for a new kiln for Totem Ceramics, the pottery studio I run and own in partnership with my dad near Málaga, Spain.

We believe in the transformative power of clay. Our pottery school has been a haven for creativity, learning and community since 2013. Now, we need your help to take our craft to the next level.

We are raising funds to purchase a new kiln, an essential tool for Totem's students and artists to bring their clay creations to life. A kiln is not just a piece of equipment; it's the heart of our craft. Our existing kiln has broken down 3 times in the past 10 months, causing massive delays and frustrations, not to mention costly repairs. With a new, larger kiln, we can:

- Expand our class offering, opening the doors to more aspiring artists.

- Provide a broader variety of firing options for our more experienced potters.

- Offer exciting, inspirational workshops with international ceramic artists.

- Host community events to support local charities.

- Improve our cherished space where the community comes together and creates beautiful handmade art.

Your support will directly impact our ability to continue fostering artistic expression and skill development in our clay community. Every contribution, big or small, brings us closer to our fundraising goal of €9,000.

In these tumultuous times we all need a way to cultivate calm. Working with clay creates that calm headspace, it's meditative and therapeutic, so please join us in making a lasting positive impact in our community. Let's fire up creativity together! Donate now and be a part of our continuing efforts to bring the joy of working with clay to more people every day! Thank you for your support, we really appreciate every bit of help ❤️ Suzie and Chad
