Auction: Studio Ceramics: FiredUp4 Auction (Macclesfield), 19th Oct, 2023
Adam Partridge Auctioneers & Valuers are pleased to announce that we will be hosting the third FiredUp4 auction this autumn.
FiredUp4 celebrates the work of the UK’s leading ceramicists in an innovative fundraising campaign to allow hundreds of young people to enjoy the benefits of creating with clay. We provide studios, equipment and training to the OnSide Network of Youth Zones, independent local charities across the UK committed to supporting young people to discover their passion and their purpose.
“Our aim is to place clay into the hands of as many young people as possible by installing studios in existing Onside Youth Zones. We are so grateful to the ceramic community and to leading ceramic artists for their help in fundraising and donating work. Together we have raised over £250,000 for the installation of 5 studios, and we look forward to building on this, installing more across the UK. Hooray for clay!” – Kate Malone MBE, FiredUp4 Founder Partner.
