I think for the first time in my life I am speechless!
We managed to raise £290 through GoFundMe to go towards Dee's first kiln and with our own funds added, that we'd saved too, today Dee managed to get her first Kiln!
She is so grateful to everyone who shared her GoFundMe post and to everyone who made a donation, no matter how large or small, it meant the world to Dee knowing she had supot from you! Most of you who donated Dee had never met! so to have your support is just amazing! And so humbling to her 💐 THANK YOU TO ALL OF YOU 🎉
The kilns not all shiny and new, we know that, however, she's just been serviced and just had new elements fitted and is working and that is all Dee needs to get started.
The kiln you helped her get is the:
Cromartie Hobbytech 40L 3kw (
@cromartie_kilnsandwheels @cromartiehobbycraft )
She measures internal 15" x 13.5" which is a great size for Dee to start with.
It came with a number of different glazes from
@potterswarehouse a pottery wheel and some kiln furniture and shelves.
With the glazes and bit of furniture she has from
@ctmpotters There'll be no stopping Dee now.
Dee can't wait to started but before we use Katie Kiln (yes Dee already named her 🤣) we need to sort out where she's going to live and get her setup, so keep watching for Dee's first firing.
She also has a lot to learn herself as she's never used a kiln, and certainly never fired her own sculptures so she'll be reading up and getting ready to share her pieces with you, successful or disaster Dee will share this new chapter in her journey with you!
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼Please Share My GoFundMe Link in my profile (LinkTree) if you're not in the position to donate, every little helps. If you can donate to help anything would be hugely appreciated 🤞🤞🤞
❤️❤️Thank you to Everyone for Your amazing support❤️❤️
