Last Saturday saw the Burdekin Potters hold its final Adult Beginner Hand-building course for 2023.
Seven enthusiastic ladies took part and enjoyed creating some unique handmade pieces.
Burdekin Potters Inc., located in Plantation Park, has seen a huge resurgence of interest in the art of clay, with membership soaring from around 10 four years ago, to almost 60 at present.
The Burdekin Potters was established in 1975 and will be celebrating 50 years in 2025.
Our youngest member is 16 with our most experienced potter aged in her mid-70s.
The club is very inclusive and caters to both men and women from the regional communities.
The Pottery Club will be holding a Christmas exhibition, beginning with the Plantation Markets on Sunday, December 3 through to Sunday, December 10.
Drop in during that week to pick up a locally crafted unique pottery piece for that special someone for Christmas.
Any time you see the “Open” flag flying, you’re welcome to drop in and have a browse, or register your interest in participating in a Beginner class next year.
