Registration is now OPEN! Our 2015 Gala Dinner will take place on Friday, May 8, 2015 in the @westinbayshore's Grand Ballroom in beautiful #Vancouver, #BC. Our theme this year is #VIBRANT.

A community settled by Batwa, Rwanda’s original potters, Gatagara is most well known for its beautiful pottery created by local artisans at Poterie Local de Gatagara. Established in 1979, Poterie Local de Gatagara fuses modern ceramic technology with the traditional pottery methods of the Batwa. Before genocide in 1994, the cooperative supported thirty local families, however, during genocide, 24 of the 30 members were killed. In 1997, the cooperative was reestablished and now supports 17 members. What makes Gatagara pottery unique is all materials are found within 1-15 kn of the cooperative; clay, kaolin, bricks for the kiln, and materials for the glazes including feldspar, talc, iron oxide, and ashes of eucalyptus, straw and hay. Here's a sample of #Gatagara #pottery that will be available at the #WellspringGala. #Rwanda
