Membership
Welcome to the P4Pottery community!
We are so pleased you are considering creating with us! As Canberra’s newest pottery studio, P4Pottery offers a spacious, well-equipped home for your creativity—and friendly company to share it with.
If you have completed a beginner course or have been making for years, we would love to welcome you. Our memberships are for people with some pottery experience who are comfortable working independently. They give you time to build on what you know, follow your own ideas and enjoy making alongside others.
Our Fyshwick studio has 17 pottery wheels, with 10 dedicated to members, and generous handbuilding and sculpting space for up to 32 makers. Shared tools, studio glazes and member storage help you settle in, while our dedicated photography corner gives you a place to capture and share what you create.
Make time for pottery on your terms. You are not tied to a fixed timetable! Choose available three-hour sessions within your plan’s access hours and weekly allowance, and change your bookings from week to week to suit your life. These are self-directed sessions rather than taught classes—time for your own projects, at your own pace.
​
Everyone deserves to feel welcome, respected and comfortable being themselves here. We look forward to getting to know you and seeing what you make.
Before joining, please read our Members' Handbook and Membership Policy. If you are unsure whether membership is right for you, have a chat with us—we are happy to help.
