In September 2010, the London Potters Guild broke ground on a small addition that will house a lift to our second floor. We celebrated our first year occupying the London Clay Art Centre and the beginning of Phase II of our renovations with a ground breaking ceremony. Read more about it in this London Free Press article. The addition and lift are funded by the Ontario Trillium Foundation, the Enabling Accessibility Fund, the Good Foundation, and the City of London. Thank you to these organizations and agencies that are helping us make the London Clay Art Centre fully accessible!
As the building of the addition and installation of the lift proceeds, we are shifting our focus to the final two major projects that remain: restoration of the facade, and renovation of the second floor. We are making many requests for funding from government, private, and corporate donors. The facade restoration will present a welcoming face to the public, and continue our investment into the future of the Old East Village. The second floor restoration will allow expanded programming and more space for artists, our sales, and public meeting space.
