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. See the calendar below for what's happening in the pottery studio. 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 & Sat - 9.00am to 1.00pm Mon 1.00ppm - 4.00pm - Sculpture Group Wed & Thur evening - 4:30pm to 8:30pm Saturday - 9.00am to 12noon There is an attendance fee of $2 per session.
LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES FOR NON-MEMBERS Sunshine Coast Art Group runs courses in hand-building, sculpture, wheel throwing and others several times a year. Please check for upcoming workshops here. |
POTTERY MEMBERSHIP Pottery members are required to undertake an induction upon joining. The induction session will ensure that new members are aware of health and safety requirements and how to care for our equipment. Members have access to the studio during opening hours. Members may use studio equipment but are expected to supply their own tools, clay and underglaze. All equipment must be properly cleaned after use. We run regular courses and workshops for members and non-members (when there are spaces available). 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. |
