Supporting Guilds & Building Community

FUSION actively collaborates with guilds and organizations to strengthen the clay and glass community across Ontario. We support guilds by sharing news, promoting events and sales, and co-hosting workshops and conferences throughout the province.

Our Provincial Guild Network meets quarterly online, providing a space to connect, exchange ideas, and discuss guild-related topics in a supportive forum.
