About The Dorset Pottery Group

The Dorset Pottery Group has been kicking about for a couple of decades, enabling people interested in pottery in Dorsetshire, in southern England, to come together to run events such as exhibitions and social gatherings.

The group is currently somewhat dormant, for a variety of reasons. If anyone would like to help give it a kick to restart please contact us.

The group used to present an exhibition annually in the autumn at Bridport Arts Centre, they gave an opportunity for potters to show and sell their work and meet socially with other potters and meet the "audience". Look at the Annual Exhibition page and the resources pages for downloadable registration forms etc.

A Mail Chimp news alert is sent out by email to anybody (members and fans) who requests to be put on the list, using this link :-

Membership & Subscriptions

Membership of the DPG is open to anyone - there is no selection or even any requirement to be a potter!

The group is managed by a collective of members who make things happen, but they really appreciate help from everyone, especially to get the annual exhibition sorted out.

An email list is used to send members alerts about particular opportunities and events.

Membership annual subscriptions of £8 per person are normally due for payment in early November. Currently we are not chasing folk for this, as the group is somewhat dormant!

There is a downloadable standing order form available in the Resources section of this website. If you use that please also send an email so we know who you are and can invite you to collaborate.

We will accept bank transfers, the standing order form mentioned above has the details.

We no longer accept cheques.
