If you’ve been into The Potters Place Gallery, you’ve seen our beautiful display of Stephen Lewis Foundation cards we have for sale. Another great supporter of the foundation is the Merville Grandmothers.

The Merville Grand Mothers (MGMs) formed in 2006, mobilizing soon after they learned that the Stephen Lewis Foundation was initiating a Grandmothers to Grandmothers Campaign in support of the African grandmothers who, as Stephen Lewis has said, were holding their communities together and raising the children orphaned by loss of parents due to the HIV/Aids pandemic. Over the past 20 years, this small but mighty group has raised over $220,000 through awareness-raising and fund-raising activities, primarily with a focus on food and fabric. The MGM are very thankful for the support & generosity that continues to come from the Comox Valley community.

The Merville Grand Mothers are hosting their Fabulous Fabric Sale Saturday September 12th from 9am to 1pm at the CV Curling Rink on Headquarters Road. All proceeds to the Stephen Lewis Foundation to support African grandmothers caring for their orphaned grandchildren.

✨ Guest Artists ✨
We are thrilled to announce that the July 2026 Guest Artists at The Potters Place Gallery is Fired Up! Fired Up!

Fired Up! is a British Columbia-based group of highly-talented ceramic artists who have an annual show and regularly exhibit together. The first Fired Up! Contemporary Works in Clay was hosted by the renowned Robin Hopper and Judi Dyelle in their Metchosin garden, where they brought together 12 ceramic artists who shared a vision of more than just another pottery sale. Their purpose was to show the public the many diverse ways of working with clay by demonstration and exhibition, and to promote the understanding and appreciation of ceramics as an art form.Today, Fired Up! is the longest-running ceramic exhibition group in Canada.

Fired Up! Artists showcasing at The Potters Place are Peter Flanagan, Sarah Graeme, Sandy Harquail, Gordon Hutchens, Irene Ives, Cathi Jefferson, Miera Mathison and Kinichi Shigeno.
