Public Curators Building

The Cairns Potters Club was established in 1974 to promote and foster an interest in pottery in the community. The club provides facilities and opportunities for members and associated groups in the region to expand and develop their professional skills through classes, exhibitions, workshops, seminars and commissioned works.

Since 1983, the club has staged numerous exhibitions, including Melting Pot which has been held at Cairns Art Gallery since 1999. The exhibition is an opportunity to showcase current and emerging trends and developments in the mediums of ceramics and glass.

With new technological advancements, there is an increasing scope for experimentation and the creation of exciting works using new colour palettes and designs that are both functional and decorative.

The Cairns Potters Club gratefully acknowledges the continued support of sponsors who kindly donate awards and prizes at the opening event of the exhibition.
