The Dorothy Collin Memorial Award
1937 - 2021
Dorothy Collin passed away in 2021 and is missed by many. The MPG has honoured her memory through this award. Dorothy Collin was a founding member of the Mississauga Potters’ Guild. She was proud of the thriving creative community that grew from the humble beginnings of the gathering of a few clay enthusiasts in founding members' homes. Dorothy was a strong member of her community. She was an accomplished potter and connected with members new and old whenever she had the chance. She embraced new Guild activities, participating in sales, exhibitions, attending meetings in person and on Zoom and opening her home for members' to use. Dorothy was the Guild's biggest cheerleader. She is remembered for applauding the hard work of volunteers as the backbone of the Guild.
The Dorothy Collin Memorial Award celebrates a person within the MPG who has exemplified personal growth in advancing their own work while going above and beyond to grow the clay community within the guild and beyond.
