Kawartha Potters Guild Spring SaleThe Kawartha Potters Guild will be hosting their 2026 Spring Show & Sale on the weekend of April 24-26. The studio at 993 Talwood Drive in Peterborough will be transformed into a pottery wonderland featuring the work of 18 local potters. Shoppers will also have access to the Gift Gallery which is open year-round.
“This is an excellent chance to shop for gifts for spring and summer special occasions such as Mother’s Day, weddings, graduations, house warmings and birthdays,” says Anne Normand, KPG member and chair of the sale committee.
The sale will include items such as serving pieces (platters, bowls, trays, teapots), functional pieces (butter dishes, oil bottles, espresso cups, tumblers), décor items (vases, gnomes and tiny sculpted animals), garden items, earrings and of course mugs galore!
Normand explains, “It’s a real team effort. In addition to the 18 potters displaying their work for sale, many of the other 150 members of the potters guild volunteer to help make this sale happen. Everything from washing windows to posting our well-known yellow lawn signs to working shifts at the sale itself… it’s a great time for our pottery community to come together to welcome the larger community into our space.” KPG has a long history of supporting other community agencies and organizations, recently co-hosting the Empty Bowls event with One City Peterborough. At the spring sale, the guild will be collecting non-perishable food items for the Kawartha Food Share food bank.
Potters will be on hand to answer questions about their work, and shoppers can also find out more about taking classes or workshops at the guild. A new 6-week session of classes in both hand building and wheel throwing begins on May 20. (“What a great mother’s day gift idea!” says Normand.) There are classes for every level and on every day of the week. During July and August, KPG will be hosting Clay & Crafts Camps for kids and Teen Pottery Wheel Camp.
Sale hours are Friday 10-8, Saturday 10-5 and Sunday 10-3. Free admission, all are welcome!
