The Burdekin Potters have enhanced the footprint of their Plantation Park Clubhouse, with a permanent roof and part wall structure, through a generous grant from the Haughton Sustainable Communities Fund.
The new all-weather roof has replaced a shade sail, which will now allow club members to carry out glazing of pottery pieces under permanent shade and protection from both the sun and rain.
Until the erection of this cover, members were unable to utilize the space during rain, or early morning sun.
It will also be of great benefit when the club holds its’ annual Raku firing during the cooler months of the year.
It will provide shade over our gas kiln during this firing, making it a lot more bearable, as raku firings are an extremely hot process.
Obtaining this grant will now see the undercover space used to its full capacity, thus allowing more room for workshops and outside shade for club activities.
A big thank you must go to the Haughton Sustainable Communities Fund for continuing to support local Not-for-profit clubs in their endeavor to offer more creative options to local community members.
