Debra Balestreri, Owner and Operator of Corgi Clay LLC. Announces the launch of a Kickstarter campaign to raise funds for developing a local art center in North Stafford. Balestreri’s goal of securing $40,000 in pledges would make her vision of adding to the value of the arts community in her hometown. She seeks financial supporters to contribute by the Kickstarter campaign closing date of, 5 September 2021.

Corgi Clay LLC is currently a small business that sells pottery and teaches ceramics in a home setting. Only 4 students can be accommodated in her studio per class due to space and equipment available. She realized there is a need for a larger space when over 100 people registered for the first in-person lesson she advertised.

Balestreri states in her Kickstarter campaign, “This campaign is meant to help me develop a physical creative space to share with this community, where you can come and take classes, learn something new, be creative, and enjoy working alongside your community members. I am turning my semi-professional home studio into an entirely professional and public-facing actual art center operation, and I am asking you to help me make that happen.”
