We have a new roof! The front part of the building has a peaked roof, and the rear has a flat roof. Both were replaced by Flat Roof Ontario and will keep us dry for decades. Our members had been emptying buckets every time it rained, so it is great comfort to all of us to have the rain stopped and our beautiful hardwood floors protected.
We are working on the specifications for our new gas kiln. Currently, the Guild has electric kilns, but many potters prefer the results of a gas kiln, and many of our members are very excited to have access to a gas kiln in the new building.
We are still working on comprehensive and comparable quotes for HVAC units, including investigating geo-thermal heating/cooling.
We are also sourcing quotes on doing the eaves troughs, soffits and fascia.
We have determined that our power needs exceed the current capabilities of the builidng, and are working with London Hydro to upgrade the power to the building.
Our annual "seconds" sale made over
$1300 for the Campaign this month. "Seconds" are not-so-perfect pottery that members donate to the Guild and are sold at reduced prices to the public. We've also sent out a number of applications to foundations for funding.

Our hardwood floors on the second floor will have a chance to completely dry out, ready for repair and refinishing. |
Who would have thought a roof could look so great. |
We look forward to opening our window shades and doors to all of London! |

Our mannequin mascots are dryer now, and like having people around again. |
