Edith Pierce Memorial Award
This Edith Pierce Memorial Award is given to encourage a Bealart student who displays outstanding talent and discipline in working with clay and who is planning to continue their studies. We thought that this was a fitting memorial for Edith as so much of her life was devoted to encouraging other people’s creative endeavors.
Edith Pierce served in various capacities on the Executive of the London Potters Guild, including President, and was instrumental in helping us acquire the small teaching studio in East London. She was one of our “Studio Mothers” if you will, and in her quiet way, was a force to be reckoned with. Both the London Potters Guild and the Ingersoll Creative Arts Center have benefited from her efforts to create an environment where people can enrich not only their own lives, but the lives of others, by exploring creative work in clay.
