Please donate to help Jeremy due to fire damage

See bottom of page for updates:

My husband and I have a dear friend, Jeremy, whose business (JMACS Pottery) has been put out of Commision due to a terrible fire in the building it is located. We are grateful he was not harmed in what could have resulted tragically. We are asking for support for him, his family, and his business in this difficult time. I’m attaching an excerpt from a local newspaper article to give a better description. Monetary donations are appreciated in addition to the shirt fundraiser on his site mentioned below.

”Stumberg said Jmacs Pottery on the ground floor sustained severe water damage to the ceiling and smoke damage as well.

Jeremy McFarlane, owner of Jmacs, was on-site Wednesday afternoon. The business was closed.

“I’m shut down for months,” he said. “I am revenue-less.”

Mid-August through the end of December is when he said he does half his sales.

McFarlane said he was able to enter his building Monday night during the fire. He said he had to run through a “wall of water” to turn off his kilns. Had he not done that, he said it would have “been a disaster.”

He said he has been at the North Last Chance Gulch location for about eight years.

McFarlane said he has heard from a lot of people since the fire, the general public, customers and fellow business people.

He plans on creating and selling some T-shirts online, and people can buy them at jmacspottery.com.
