Supporting Arts and Culture In Osoyoos and Surrounding Areas

The Osoyoos Potters have been a part of the Osoyoos Art Community since the 1950's when a small group of painters and potters came together to paint and pot. There have been a few transitions over the years, including several club names. In 2011, the potters and painters formed their own separate clubs, and the potters became the Osoyoos Potters. Members meet at the Pottery Studio in the Osoyoos Arts in Centre at 89th and Main Streets (Hwy #3) which also houses The Art Gallery Osoyoos.  

We are a group of potters of all skill levels, from beginners to advanced potters.  Opportunities to display our pottery include various businesses, wineries, local locations and The ART Galley Osoyoos.  

Our Mission Is to learn together through sharing ideas, mutual encouragement, and the assistance of more advanced members in an informal, friendly setting.

The Potters Studio is a small well-equipped studio with 2 wheels, 2 kilns, a variety of glazes and tools.  All club members are required to be involved with the duties of running of the club.  

The studio is open 24/7 to members.  A studio day is held every Wednesday morning 10 am to 12 pm where the potters work on projects as a group.  Workshops and demos are conducted in house and by guest potters throughout the year.  

New members are always welcome; however, our membership is limited at any given time in accordance with the studio's size. Membership dues, that cover the ongoing club expenses, are $80 per year. Potters are required to be Members of the Osoyoos & District Arts Council ( O.D.A.C.) as a Member Group. 

Recently there has been a large interest in making pottery and joining the potters. For more information on our joining criteria, Application Form or to contact us please visit our Facebook Page at: https://www.facebook.com/search/top?q=osoyoos%20potters
