The Mt Pleasant Pottery
Group was established in 1960 and now has an active membership
of over 60. Classes, group activities, demonstrations, monthly
meetings and workshops are held throughout the year and attract
people from all over Christchurch and beyond.
 A
well equipped studio and kiln yard are located at the Mt
Pleasant Community Centre, about 8kms from the centre of
Christchurch. The studio is located on a landscaped reserve on
the edge of the picturesque tidal estuary of the Avon and
Heathcote Rivers, which run through the city.
Potters, from those who are nationally recognised and
experienced through to those just beginning belong to the club.
New members are always welcome.
Equipment in the studio includes 4 electric kilns, 12 wheels, a
slab roller, extruder and a spray booth. Outside there is a kiln
yard with a fast fire Olsen wood kiln,
10 cu ft gas kiln, diesel-fired salt glazing kiln, pit fire and
raku kilns. |
