GRAB THIS!
Goblet Grab Ottawa
October 24th at the Ottawa School of Art
Over 100 unique, handcrafted goblets by Ontario’s most prominent craftspeople are up for grabs! Join M.C. Derick Fage and Terrilynn Radar, hosts of Roger's Television Daytime at the Ottawa School of Art on October 24th for wine and refreshments to do a little early holiday shopping. Our silent auction features fabulous one-of-a-kind items, and gift certificates to the best restaurants and hottest shows in town - here’s a sneak peek…..
Tickets to the Ottawa International Jazz Festival, a $300 gift certificate to Restaurant 18, a gorgeous turned wooden bowl by Jim Lorriman (similar to the one former US President Clinton purchased on his visit to The Guild Shop last year), a selection of award winning ice wines from Stoney Ridge Estate Winery, beautiful glass bowls by Tsunami Glassworks, a stellar ceramic vessel by Bruce Cochrane, stunning earring and bracelet sets from both Susan Watson Ellis and Pamela Lauz, a playful ceramic elephant teapot by Tim Storey and chawan tea bowl by US potter Eric Serritella, tickets to the Ottawa Chamber Music Society and the National Arts Centre, and Kate Jackson’s awarding winning piece from our 2008 Awards and Scholarship exhibition – and that’s just scratching the surface!
Find the goblet that grabs you, and grab it back! It’s yours to keep, along with a $20 tax receipt in thanks for your support. All funds raised will go to support OCC eastern-regional programming initiatives.

Help make Goblet Grab Ottawa a huge success!
Looking for great exposure to a large collector base AND an opportunity to help support your craft community? Through donating an in-kind gift (GIK), craftspeople can give back to the OCC in a truly unique – and mutually beneficial – way.
Currently, the Ontario Crafts Council is seeking donations of handcrafted goblets* and silent auction items for our fall fundraising event Goblet Grab Ottawa. All funds raised through this event will go to support our Eastern regional programming initiatives in 2008-09.
We recognize the extraordinary value and cost of the donations we receive from our members. With this in mind, the OCC is pleased to offer $10 back per goblet donated, or a 20% commission from the auction price to help offset the cost of production (a tax receipt for the full retail value less the returned commission value will also be issued). Donating makers may also choose to waive this option and receive a tax receipt for the full retail value.
For more information please contact Katherine McKellar, OCC Special Projects Coordinator at kmckellar@craft.on.ca or 416-925-4222 ext.222 or:

* Goblets do not necessarily have to be in traditional goblet form. We are looking for drinking vessels in all shapes and media - functional or non-functional, wood, ceramic, glass, metal and textile!
