 As a non-profit organization we rely on tuition income and an active cadre of volunteers.  Improving our facilities and replacing old equipment requires more, successfully competing for grant support and then raising the required matching funds!   Click on I'd like to donate to see how you can help by contributing to our general fund or  specify the special Kathy Darby Community Outreach Fund through which we fund pottery workshops for low-income youth.
