2025 was our most challenging ever. Losing our infant grandson early in the year took the wind out of our sails and it was admittedly hard to care about anything at all. We managed to pull it off with the help and support of all of YOU – thank you for that. Whether you donated money, sent a supportive message, or were involved in our event in any way, we appreciate it more than you could possibly know. We are looking forward to 2026 – we have some big changes coming including moving the event to a Friday/Saturday timeframe, highlighting Malcolm MacKinnon AKA Dan Sky from High Times for an Art Gallery, and hosting a Glass Gallery with several well-known glass blowers!

Our Prize Sponsors for the competition last year were Sarah & Ralph from Olive You Pottery (sadly it was their last year as Sarah developed an allergy to the clay!), Joe & Wendy from I Think I’ve Created a Monstah! and Owen & Mariah from Chronic Glass. We would also like to thank Josh Briggs and his band for performing at our Kick Off party!

We appreciate you all so much!
