POTTERY
Sunshine Coast Art Group has an active pottery group with over 100 members with a wide range of experience and skills. Our pottery studio is well equipped. Our facilities include hand building workspaces, throwing wheels, extruders and a slab roller. We have gas, electric and raku kilns and a fire pit for specialist firing. There are a variety of glazes for member use and space to store clay and work in progress. We are open for regular untutored/self-help sessions. Members may attend any of these sessions. Members using the facilities at these times must have experience working in a studio setting and be aware of safety issues. Untutored sessions are not suitable for beginners. All enquiries to pottery@sunshinecoastartgroup.com.au Weekly session times: Mon, Tues, Wed, Fri ~ 9am to 1pm There is an attendance fee of $2 per session. BEGINNERS CLASSES AND MEMBERSHIP Sunshine Coast Art Group runs beginners courses in hand-building and wheel throwing several times a year. Please check for upcoming workshops here. As access to the pottery studio is unsupervised, pottery membership is not open for people who have no experience in pottery. To be eligible for membership, you must have either undertaken classes in pottery or be able to show examples of your work. | POTTERY MEMBERSHIP Studio membership is available to experienced potters. Members have access to all studio equipment. Members are expected to supply their own tools and clay. We run regular courses and workshops for members. All members are required to contribute to the running of the studio as we are a volunteer run organisation. Help is needed to operate the kilns, prepare glazes, recycle clay, keep the studio clean and functional and assist in events and exhibitions. This keeps our costs low. Members are also expected to be part of our community and create at the studio on a regular basis. There is currently a waiting list for membership. Please come to the studio during opening hours if you would like to express interest in joining us. UPCOMING WORKSHOPS Registration is open for the following workshops: Intermediate throwing with Marc Sauvage - See details
