NEWS RELEASE
CRAIGLEITH HERITAGE DEPOT
*************************
The Craigleith Heritage Depot has produced a 16-month calendar celebrating Blue Mountain Pottery. This beautiful calendar features historical highlights from the pottery as well as pieces from the museum collection. All proceeds from the calendar will go toward the publication of a new book about the pottery.
The museum is working with Conrad Biernacki, a recent Royal Ontario Museum retiree who is writing a book about Blue Mountain Pottery. He has been collecting this iconic pottery since his youth. At this point, research is still ongoing into the finer details of the pottery. The museum would love to learn from anyone who worked at the pottery or anyone who may have images of the various factories in The Blue Mountains and Collingwood.
This calendar was created with the assistance of the Georgian Bay Photography club who helped photograph the museum collection of Blue Mountain Pottery. Their volunteer assistance has been greatly appreciated, as their members expertly handled the technical challenges of photographing ceramics.
Calendars are available for sale from the Craigleith Heritage Depot or the LE Shore Library in Thornbury for $23 plus tax.
