The Red Wing Collector Society Foundation (RWCSF) endeavors to broaden appreciation of pottery, past and present, for the general public and maintains the Red Wing Pottery Museum in Red Wing, Minnesota. Part of the mission of the RWCSF is to award scholarships for students at colleges, technical schools, or art institutes who are studying in areas of ceramic research, ceramic engineering, or pottery making.
The Red Wing Collectors Society Foundation Award
Currently the Red Wing Collectors Society Foundation presents an annual $500 award. Through the support of the RWCSF, the Northern Clay Center administers this scholarship and presents the award to a deserving individual who is pursuing a career as a potter or who is studying or researching historical aspects of the pottery industry. The grant is awarded through a nomination process to an individual who is a current artist or instructor or has other affiliation with the Northern Clay Center. Previous recipients of this award include potters Becky Chappell (2004) and Ursula Hargens (2005). The RWCSF award will be presented through the NCC in 2006.
