bethlehem pottery club membership

Membership to Bethlehem Pottery Club is closed for 2026.

Bethlehem Pottery Club is a not for profit club run by volunteers. As such, we expect all members to contribute to making our club thrive and run successfully.

An annual membership subscription gives you access to the studio in your own time, the opportunity to receive information about workshops, access to glazes (charges apply), discount on clay purchases, access to newsletters and the BPC Facebook community.

With a limited number of spots available for membership at our club, we are prioritising confident/experienced potters, although less experienced potters will still be considered but will need to take a members-only wheel course upon joining, to ensure that members understand how the club works and can work independently.

Each application will be reviewed by the BPC committee at our monthly meeting and all applicants notified of the committee’s decision.
