Mississauga Potter Guild

Events

Our Open Studio events allow you to discover your artistic abilities, have some fun with clay and maybe determine if you’re interested in taking some classes.

Youth Clay Camp is the perfect place for your child to get creative building themed-based projects in clay using slab rolling, pinching and coiling techniques.

Our themed Exhibitions are venues for our members to share their work and creativity with the public.

We have two big Guild Sales each year on the last weekend in April and the third weekend in November.
