Annual Subscription


Members’ subscriptions are due between 1 April and 31 June. (Unpaid subs at 1 July incur a $10 late payment fee.)

This is a good time for members to come in and use the facilities to work, potter around and catch up with others. Come in and use the wheels, slab roller, moulds, extruder, glaze room and library without the tutors around!
