The Alberta Potters’ Association (APA) is taking our June Annual General Meeting and Ceramics Day online this year. Our 2021 Ceramics Days and AGM will be held on June 12th over Zoom. We will elect our new 2021-2022 board with some board members returning.
VIRTUAL MUG EXCHANGE! After our elections of new executive positions we will host a virtual mug exchange, which is open to all APA Members! If you are interested in participating in the mug exchange, please email events.albertapotters@gmail.com with the subject line “AGM – Mug exchange”, include a photo of the mug you would like to submit so we can share it on our social media pages. During our AGM please have that mug ready to show off to other potters. The APA will have a draw of all participating mugs after the elections take place. You must be present to participate. Please note if the recipient of your mug is in a different city you will be responsible to get the mug to them. Send it with family, ship or meet up safely. Note we have friends at the Alberta Craft Council who travel the middle of the province often – please work together.
PRIZES! There will also be three draws for free entries into any 2021 APA events, whether it be put towards our Christmas Sale entry, Workshop fee or your 2022 APA membership. APA members must be present at the AGM to be eligible for the draw.
