London Potters Guild Wins Green Brick Award

The London Potters Guild was thrilled to receive the Green Brick Award from the Urban League of London for its redevelopment of 664 Dundas Street. Established in 1985, the Green Brick Award is given annually to recognize developments that take community concerns into account at both the planning and development stages of a project. more about award and past winners

We have received a work permit from the city and interior work on the first floor has begun. First on the list is plumbing. More demolition and clean up work is identified each day, and the London Potters Guild members continue to put in hundreds of volunteer hours doing this work.

And we continue to raise funds for this project through individual gifts, foundation grants, and fundraising events. This month we held our annual seconds sale. A "second" is piece of pottery that has a defect (or often, one that the potter doesn't like). London Potters Guild members donate their seconds to the Guild and each year, hundreds of people line up early at Ailsa Craig Village Pottery to scoop up great deals on beautiful pottery.
