Find Perth Studio Potters and Burt Street Gallery at 1 Burt Street, east of Railway Street. Enter during advertised openings or for a booked class.
Perth Studio Potters formed in 1957 when a group of friends with a shared interest in clay began meeting in artist Owen Garde’s boatshed on the Swan River. Fundraising by those early members allowed the group to buy this small house at 1 Burt Street in September 1963, and it has remained their home ever since. Over the years the original house has been extended to include well-equipped workrooms, a gallery and kiln shed.
Today the volunteer-run organisation supports a community of ceramic artists and runs pottery classes for beginners through to experienced makers. Burt Street Gallery, at the front of the building, hosts exhibitions throughout the year and sells work by members. Opening times vary with each exhibition, so check the program before visiting.
