Each year The Potters' Guild has two semi-annual sales on the second full weekend in June and November. At each of these sales there is a special scholarship table. Guild members donate pots and the proceeds go to a scholarship fund. In 2009, 2010, and 2011 The San Diego Potters' Guild helped send a local high school ceramics student to Arrowmont School of Arts and Crafts in Tennessee. The scholarship covers the room, board and tuition for a one-week ceramics workshop that is taught by internationally renown faculty. Please look for the scholarship table if you make it out to one of our semi-annual sales.
