At the end of the prize draw collection period, all names will be added into one pool and I will use a random number generator to draw out names for each of the prizes at random. I will email the winners and arrange for the prizes to be shipped to you. We apologise, but we are only able to ship items within the mainland UK. 

The Cause

The recent storms have had a devastating effect in North Carolina and Tennessee. I grew up in this area and I’m hearing horrific reports, whole towns are gone, people are stranded on tops of mountains because the roads have washed out. Restoring Utilities could be months if not years away in some places. The scale of destruction is incomprehensible. North Carolina is a major hub for studio pottery and many will have lost everything. From one ceramics community to another, we have set up this prize draw in an effort to support them through such a terrible time. The proceeds will go to CERF+ (Craft Emergency Relief Fund) to help the large community of artists and craftspeople to get back on their feet.
