We’re delighted to share some exciting news from our pottery studio. Thanks to the generous support of The David Snowdon Trust, we have been able to purchase two brand-new kilns.
After more than 20 years at the heart of the pottery studio, our previous kiln was ready for an upgrade. With funding from The David Snowdon Trust, we have now welcomed two larger, more energy-efficient kilns from Northern Kilns into the studio.
The new kilns will help us breathe fresh life into our pottery programme, giving us greater capacity, flexibility and new opportunities for both our committed community of adult potters, newcomers to clay, and the next generation of budding young pottery enthusiasts.
We are enormously grateful to The David Snowdon Trust for making this possible.
“The David Snowdon Trust are thrilled to fund the new kilns, ensuring The Kendal Brewery Arts Centre can protect, innovate, and grow its wonderful pottery and ceramic sessions for years to come. Supporting opportunities to engage with and enjoy the arts across Westmorland and Furness is at the heart of the Trust’s charitable objects, and we’re delighted to help make these creative experiences accessible to the local community”
– Deb Parkinson, Grant Officer, David Snowdon Trust
The arrival of the kilns has also brought plenty of excitement to the team and our pottery community.
“Thank you to our dedicated staff for finding funding for two new kilns! The old one had done sterling work for us, for as long as anyone could remember, but it was struggling to keep up. New term, new kilns and newfound enthusiasm!”
– Chris Barnes, Potter and Pottery Programme Facilitator
A huge thank you once again to The David Snowdon Trust for investing in the future of pottery and creative learning at Brewery Arts. These new kilns will help us continue to provide opportunities for people of all ages to discover clay, develop skills and enjoy making together for many years to come.
