Our environmentally friendly pottery kiln is nearly complete, and just needs its shelves and props.

We're still collecting donations

On the 20th April 2024 we'd raised £70 with 4 supporters in 28 days. But as every pound matters, we're continuing to collect donations from supporters.

With your help we have almost completed our Girel 3e kiln at Mid Wales Arts, Caersws, where it will be available for groups and individual hire and for community involvement projects. All we need to finish it is new kiln furniture. Since our first crowd funder I have had lots of enquiries from those of you who want t o be involved, so here is your chance.

 This is where we are up to at the beginning of March, lined and with the firebox and floor complete, all work at the site being completed by our small team of volunteers.1710671934_kiln_almost_complete_2.jpg

We now need the shelves and props to finish the project, and hope to fire up before the end of April 2024.
