GOLD COAST POTTERS ASSOCIATION
The organisation has been operating on the Gold Coast since it was formed by interested local craftspeople in 1977. The Gold Coast City Council provided the original but derelict Benowa Primary School building for their use and enthusiastic volunteers soon had a workshop fitted out for members. The quality of teachers is monitored by the Association and many former students have established a reputation as professional potters. Aceramist of national standing regularly present workshops.
