About the Southern Ceramic Group

The Southern Ceramic Group was started in 1975 by a small group of enthusiastic potters. Their aim was to enable potters and sculptors normally working alone to meet other like-minded people and share ideas and techniques. The idea worked so well that the Southern Ceramic Group now has 146 members from Hampshire and the surrounding counties. Our members are potters, sculptors, professional and amateurs, teachers and students, collectors and enthusiasts.

The committee organise a varied programme of events, including demonstrations, workshops and exhibitions. The bi-monthly newsletter keeps us up to date with all these events as well as book reviews, articles, equipment for sale, courses etc.

There are two types of membership; Full members may exhibit and sell their work through the group. They can have their Curriculum Vitaes and photographs included in the group's portfolio, which is used to promote exhibitions, and on the web site. Associate members have all the rights and privileges of membership except exhibiting and selling through the group. For details of how to join click here.

The Southern Ceramic Group is recognised and promoted by Southern Arts and Southampton City Leisure Committee and is self-financing.
