Thanks, Pauline.
ronin gibson in sydney often shows pottery. i bought a marvelous stephen bowers flat dish from him some years ago.
Thanks Alan, I have added a link. I love the sound of your Stephen Bowers dish.
Very useful list Judith – thank you. When we moved to Sydney in 1989, there was a potters gallery run by a group of ladies in Crows Nest. I believe it had previously been located in the Eastern Suburbs. Any idea what became of that gallery? The quality of the work was impressive and we bought some really beautiful pieces there.
This was The Potters’ Gallery – the showroom/gallery and offices of the Potters’ Society of Australia at 68 Alexander Street, Crows Nest. The Potters’ Gallery first opened in 1971 at 97a Bourke Street, Woolloomooloo with the help of a cultural grant from the NSW government. In 1976, the society moved to a terrace building at 48-50 Burton Street, Darlinghurst. The move to Crows Nest took place in 1989 after the Darlinghurst building was sold to make room for a high-rise. Sadly, the gallery only lasted in its Crows Nest location until 1991. Since then the Society has been holding annual exhibitions at the Manly Art Gallery and Museum but has had no permanent shop front.
