About
Clay For You, a Korean pottery collective, is offering a unique and interactive experience. This event is a continuation of their gallery exhibition, designed to foster community connections and share the richness of traditional Korean pottery and culture. All participants, regardless of age, will have the opportunity to witness traditional Korean carving techniques and wheel throwing. You can even select a pre-made ceramic piece and inscribe your name in Hangeul (Korean alphabet) to take home as a memento. Take advantage of the hand-building contest, where you can create something with clay for a chance to win a personalized special celadon ceramic cup featuring your astrological sign. This is a drop-in event open to the public. Children and teens under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
Clay for You: Korean Pottery Collective is hosting their exhibition ‘Celebration’ in the Outlet Gallery #110-2248 McAllister Avenue from September 25, 2024 to January 14, 2025. For more information about the artist and the City's Exhibition program, visit portcoquitlam.ca/exhibitions

The City of Port Coquitlam
Port Coquitlam is a community of 61,000 with a strategic location in Metro Vancouver, a healthy base of businesses, new commercial and industrial areas, 271 hectares of parkland including the 25-km Traboulay PoCo Trail, well-established neighbourhoods, and a strong sense of community spirit known as PoCo Pride.
It also has a reputation for progressive governance and for its innovative approaches to managing waste, sustainable development and using technology to engage the community.
Since it was incorporated on March 7, 1913, Port Coquitlam has experienced significant growth and has strived to remain relevant to the changing times. At the same time, the City has retained its small-town charm, its authentic historic downtown core, and a tradition of community involvement.
The City strives to balance social, environmental and economic values while fulfilling citizen priorities.
