Word of the Week:

Dipping: is the process of submerging pottery in a vat of thin glaze for 3 to 5 seconds before taking it out to dry.  Dipping is the most reliable way to produce an even layer of glaze.  An alternative to dipping is brushing on the glaze.

Convention Memories - 2022 Convention

(Archived) 20th Anniversary Celebration - July 22 to 24, 2022

In celebration of the beginnings of Jozo Weider's pottery, the Blue Mountain Pottery Collectors Club held their 20th Annual Convention last summer in partnership with the Craigleith Heritage Museum and the Blue Mountain Tourist Board. 
The successful events took place at the Beaver Valley Community Center in Thornbury, Ontario from July 22-24, 2022.  On Saturday morning, there was an address by the Mayor of the Town of Blue Mountains followed by an official ribbon cutting ceremony to open the event.  The sales floor was then opened to the public.  There were sculpting demonstrations by David Bennett (the last potter at BMP) and visitors were also given the opportunity to meet retired Royal Ontario Museum expert, Mr Conrad Biernacki as he shared information about his upcoming book on the history of Blue Mountain Pottery.  Visitors were also able to attend the film premiere of Red Clay, a documentary about the history of Blue Mountain Pottery.

2022 Convention Souvenir

This plate was designed by fellow member and retired Master Potter, David G. Bennett to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the founding of the Blue Mountain Pottery Collectors Club.  The scene depicts the Craigleith railway station, where many believe that Jozo Weider first started his pottery making hobby which in turn led to the establishment of the Blue Mountain Pottery factory in Collingwood, Ontario.  The plates will be numbered and the certificate will be printed on our letterhead bond.  Available to members only.  For further information click here.
