Students and faculty of Western New Mexico University’s clay department will hold its 10th Annual Friends of Clay Pottery Sale on Saturday, March 21, from 9am to 3pm, at 614 N. Bullard in downtown Silver City, across from Alotta Gelato.
The sale will feature a great selection of pottery and clay art works donated by current and former WNMU clay students, faculty, and professional potters. All proceeds from the sale will be used for the benefit of Western’s clay program.
Sponsored by “Friends of Clay,” the annual pottery sales have grown in size each year since 2005, and have been an astounding success. Funds raised by the group are used to enhance and promote ceramics and the WNMU clay program through the offering of lectures, workshops, trips, scholarships, as well as assisting in the purchase of equipment and supplies for the university clay studio.
A main attraction of the annual sales has been the wide variety of clay works offered, from beginning-student pots to gallery-quality pieces, all at reasonable prices. The sale is a unique opportunity to support the arts, and there will be something for everyone – parents and kids, artists and collectors, homemakers, gardeners, and gift-givers.
For further information, call 313-7278 or 388-5202.
