Story
If you've found your way to this page, thank you for reading on.
I'm Bryan and I'm setting up this fundraising for a great friend, John Scott of Sourdust Pottery in Stocksfield.
Last night, John's side studio, where he produces his Raku pottery, was burnt down. Although thankfully it wasn't his main studio, it contained a lot of expensive equipment that has been ruined. The insurance is currently not covering the complete loss so he stands to have costs of up to £25,000.
John has made his living for many years through his love of pottery and teaching others. I have attended many of his weekend sessions, teaching the most incredible skills for Raku, amongst so much more.
Without this studio and equipment, his income will take a huge hit, not to mention the cost of replacing everything he has lost.
If you've been taught by him or simply enjoy his work, any donation you can spare would be greatly appreciated to lessen the pressures he now faces. I would love for the great community he has built around him, to be able to support him and give back at his time of need.
Thank you
Bryan
