Pottery guild could soon form in La Ronge
La Ronge’s Bob Polischuk believes there’s enough interest in the tri-community to start a pottery guild.
If the La Ronge Arts Council receives a grant it applied for in the coming months, he’s hopeful the board will consider providing funds to cover start up costs for the club. As a member of the council, Polischuk said the board has been successful at obtaining grants during the last couple of years, which have funded lessons in a variety of artistic mediums.
“As a guild, it would be a bunch of people getting together wanting to do pottery,” he said. “Right now we never have any problem filling the classes we offer. There’s a handful of girls doing quite well and some have been doing good work.”
For the last four years, Polischuk has been teaching pottery classes at Churchill Community High School on a seasonal basis. Since 2016, he’s offered five-week spring and fall sessions and he said the latest classes ended in March. Polischuk had a lot of interest to hold more classes in April, he said, but noted an injury cancelled those plans.
