Our Clay Company is still operating out of our temporary warehouse until our new facility opens this summer.
Due to severe damage from Hurricane Helene, our gallery, studios and teaching center will reopen at our new location in the summer of 2025.
HOW CAN YOU HELP?
We need your help cover the significant costs of rebuilding, replace kilns, and up-fitting our 18,000 sq. ft. new space. If you’re able to support us, any donation—big or small—would make a huge difference as we work to recover.
Here are several ways you can donate to help us financially at this time.
1. Make a tax-deductible donation through our new Fiscal Sponsor
2. Donate through our GoFundMe campaign
3. You can also contact Sarah Wells Rolland by clicking this link and request the address to send a check directly to us. Just write “donation” in the subject line.
