Our Pottery Facilitator is Kathleen Zanardo. Kathleen can be contacted on 0415154746 or email [email protected].

We have a number of drop in groups running where members of the potters group can meet and work on their own projects. Kathleen facilitates the Monday evening drop in group.  Janet Larson facilitates the Tuesday evening group; and Susie Ward, the Tuesday morning group. Newcomers are always welcome, please contact the facilitators to book a session as they can be quite popular and spaces are limited.  Saturday morning Drop in and Pot session facilitated by Michael Dausmann : 0415 120 139, runs a Facebook page for Saturday potters, here.

Drop in group members pay $5 per visit to help cover electricity and other costs. This group is generally potters who have had some experience with pottery and work independently with support and help from each other. This group contains both hand builders and throwers.
