Meet The Potters
Who We Are
We’re a vibrant group of adult pottery enthusiasts who gather every Monday at the Community Arts Cottage in Sanctuary Point. Our members come from all walks of life, ranging from beginners to seasoned potters, each bringing unique ideas, skills, and creativity to the table.
At Bay 'n Basin Bush Potters, it’s not just about pottery – it’s about sharing, supporting, and growing together. Our group thrives on inspiration, collaboration, and learning, as we guide each other in crafting beautiful stoneware and earthenware through throwing and hand-building techniques.
Whether you’re creating for fun, exploring new skills, or refining your art, there’s always room for you in our welcoming and inclusive community.
