(inc.)
Formed in 1957
PSP OBJECTIVES
Our aim is to further the interest, knowledge and skills in the art of making pottery. To this end we provide classes for beginners and advanced students, as well as workshops by local, interstate and overseas potters.
FACILITIES AND SERVICES
Our facilities include a gallery space, well equipped workroom, slab roller, extruder as well as electric and gas kilns. All members have access to our well stocked library, including up to date issues of Pottery in Australia, Ceramic Review, Craft Arts and Ceramic Technical. Discounts at Jacksons Ceramics and members discount off PSP classes & workshops.
Perth Studio Potters Inc is a beacon of light for the hand-crafts at a time when many crafts – and the teaching of those crafts – have fallen away in the face of factory-produced ware and a lack of commitment to their long-term viability.
We are fortunate to have excellent premises that we own outright, thanks to the foresight of our founding members, and we are committed to making the very best use of these premises for the benefits of our members and the WA ceramics community. We are in a sound financial situation thanks to many members’ efforts and the careful management of our resources.
The challenge we face in our second half-century is to be worthy of what was built by those early pioneers; to build on what we have; to move with the new times; to have fun while we do it; and to embrace change with energy and purpose.
The fine organisation that we have today has grown from the dedication and hard work of a small but committed community of potters who, I am sure, took great joy in what they achieved. I hope that you are encouraged to visit our great organisation or to visit our modern gallery of work.
Thank you to all PSP members and the many volunteer helpers who over the past 53 years have contributed their time, donations of money and equipment to make Perth Studio Potters what it is today.
PSP published 'The first 50 years Perth Studio Potters' written by Janet Kovesi-Watt and supported by Lotteries West. Our history dedicated to our founders for the 50th anniversary, to mark the handover of not only a wealth of knowledge but a wonderful legacy to its new generation of enthusiastic potters.
History Book is on display and can be purchased for $25 from the Burt St. Gallery or via mail plus postage.
