In 2020​​, Yosef Wosk was appointed  an Officer of the Order of Canada for his far-reaching contributions to his community as a scholar, educator and writer, and for his generous philanthropy. He announced an especially welcome gift to the North-West Ceramics Foundation, confirming an on-going donation to the NWCF from the Yosef Wosk Family Foundation. This financial support  will enable us to consider new and exciting projects to promote BC ceramics and to initiate socially relevant projects relating to the ceramic arts.

Through its volunteers and with the support of the British Columbia ceramics community, the North-West Ceramics Foundation has fostered education and excellence in BC ceramics for over 30 years. Coming as the difficult year of pandemic drew to a close, the NWCF was extremely grateful for this magnanimous gift, which has allowed us to undertake new and challenging projects.
