Overview
Mission
Dedicated to increasing awareness and appreciation of the ceramic arts in Southwest Florida, and enhancing the skill of local potters.
What it reported doing in 2025
Held 3 pottery workshops for member and guest potters that included Martha Grover - hand building with porcelain clay, Alex Butt - Coyote glazes using a slow cool kiln schedule, and Kathy Skaggs - printing on clay with Amaco ceramic inks. Total participants 56.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and revenue comfortably covers expenses. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
