About & Join

A shared studio.

Otago Potters Group is a community pottery group in South Dunedin where members use shared pottery rooms, work-for-firing areas, kilns, and facilities, and take part in exhibitions, market days, and occasional workshops through the year. The environment is best suited to those who have prior experience with clay.

What the group offers

Practical facilities, shared kiln access, and a steady creative environment.

OPG focuses on the experience of making in a well-used community studio rather than on a packed calendar. The appeal is the combination of workable facilities and a welcoming group around them.
