“Here we are… The raffle ends in 12 hours (midnight Pacific time) and we’re sitting at $49,643. I can’t believe it….We’re gonna hit $50k!!! Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine these posts would encourage 50 thousand dollars in donations. Thank you for blowing my mind and making me believe that humanity actually may have a shot at fixing this shit.
If you haven’t donated yet, or you’re still on the fence, this last set of incentives is GUARANTEED to knock you right off of it! So lets see how high this number can go!! Remember…all you have to do to enter the raffle, is donate to any charity supporting the Black Lives Matter movement and send your receipt to [email protected]. All NEW entries must have receipts with today’s date of 6/6. Anything that had already been submitted before today is still eligible to win any of the prizes.”

Clay for Australia, 2020 is a global fundraising project aimed at assisting those directly impacted by the Australian Bushfires. Conceived by ceramic artist, Vipoo Srivilasa, it follows on from a series of four previous “Clay for….” fundraisers that have provided a platform for clay workers from around the world to support worthwhile philanthropic or charitable causes. To date, more than $100,000AUD has been raised.
Clay for Australia, 2020 facebook page will facilitate clay workers displaying work(s) for sale, and supporters viewing works and buying directly from them. The sale will commence on the 24th of January, and conclude the following week on the 31st. Transactions are to be negotiated between the sellers and buyers, with the money from these transactions donated to one of the following charities:
Wildlife Rescue Emergency Fund – https://www.wires.org.au/ (an organisation assisting wildlife in NSW impacted by the fires)
Food Bank – https://www.foodbank.org.au/ (delivering emergency food relief and water to East Gippsland, helping firefighters and local communities caught up in the bushfires.)
Red Cross’ Disaster Relief and Recovery fund (https://fundraise.redcross.org.au/drr)
NOTE: Due to overwhelming support the works are on sale NOW!!!!
Head to Facebook to find out more, how to donate as an artist, how to purchase works and how to support this amazing project.

“Ayumi Horie reflects on the groundbreaking Instagram project, Pots in Action—why she started it and why she has decided to finish it.”
“@potsinaction has run its course; I’ve changed and so has Instagram. After 2,400 posts covering a vast range of clay and ceramics globally, @potsinaction will be archived as a website so it can remain a functional resource for the field. @potsinaction expanded a liminal space between pop culture and academia. It turned on people outside the field of ceramics to ceramics by introducing them to a world beyond Paint Your Own Pottery and stuffy museum cases. It became a staple resource for students doing research and for professionals in the field, it dug deeply into what we thought we knew well. For four years, this collaborative project consistently created new content and tried to show not only the best work, but also the unexpected and ubiquitous ways that clay touches lives.”
