FOSTER A POTTER (FOPO) is a NFP fundraising organisation which will support and fund ceramics studentsto learn and work alongside experienced ceramicists and potters to develop practical, technical and business skills and knowledge necessary to setup and successfully run their own ceramics studio and/or practice.

FOSTER A POTTER is a company limited by guarantee formed in July 2023.
The Founding Directors are Vicki Grima, Jean McMaster and Susie McIntosh.

FOSTER A POTTER identified the following problems:
• The lack of ceramics and pottery workshop-based training opportunities in Australia.
• The lack of opportunities for experienced potters to pass on their workshop-based skills and knowledge in a working environment (rather than in short workshops).

FOSTER A POTTER plans to offer the first placement/s in 2025.
Applications open June 2024 and close 31 October 2024.
Successful applicants will be notified in early December 2024.
