Ceramic Arts Queensland is a volunteer-run not-for-profit arts organisation with its membership is based in Queensland and northern New South Wales.
The organisation holds regular workshops, lectures, and exhibitions. They publish a fortnightly members' newsletter and a quarterly Bulletin magazine.
History[edit]
Ceramic Arts Queensland was founded as the Queensland Potters Association (QPA) in 1968 at St Mary’s Studio. Located in the basement of St Mary's Anglican Church, Kangaroo Point, St Mary's Studio was a site of significance in the development of Brisbane's emerging art scene, serving as a host to many art groups that have been instrumental in shaping the cultural landscape.[1]
The organisation utilised rented premises until, with the assistance of the Queensland Government, was able to secure permanent premises with the purchase of the Fortitude Valley Primitive Methodist Church in 1982.[2] The Association refurbished the building and added a steel-framed mezzanine floor, designed by conservation architect Richard Allom.[3] In 1983 it opened the Potters Gallery on the premises to display and sell members' work.
As the membership base of the organisation was expanded to include glassworkers, the organisation was renamed to Fusions: Australian Network of Clay and Glass Artists in 2003.[4]
The church building was refurbished from 2005 to 2008 as part of a plan to establish an art-focused exhibition and retail complex. [5] The project included a new gallery on the street level with the church building above it and was designed by Cox Rayner Architects. In October 2008 the new street-level gallery ‘Fusions’ was opened however, it proved not to be a commercial success. The gallery was closed in September 2010 and the building sold in 2014.
Following the sale of the church building the members reflected upon the direction of the organisation and in April 2014 rebranded as Ceramic Arts Queensland with the aim of reconnecting with the original aims and philosophy of the Queensland Potters Association.[6]
Permanent Collection[edit]
The Permanent Collection was given initial impetus following the gift of a bowl by Harry Davis, presented to QPA in 1972. The collection comprises more than 200 pieces of work by Australian makers, including Joan Campbell, Gwyn Hanssen Pigott, Milton Moon, Owen Rye, and Carl McConnell.[7]
An English-made china dinnerware set, decorated with an image of the Fortitude Valley Methodist Church, was given to the Queensland Potters' Association by the parishioners at the last service in the church before the building was handed over to them as the new owners. This set was added to the Permanent Collection.[8]
The Collection was expanded in 2019 with the significant donation of a collection by Geoff Crispin, a renowned ceramic maker, collector, and life member of Ceramic Arts Queensland.
Siliceous Award[edit]
The Siliceous Award for Ceramic Excellence is a biennial event.
The inaugural Siliceous Award for Ceramic Excellence was held in 2015. From the years 2015-2019 (inclusive) the Award was presented annually, with only CAQ members eligible to enter, and held in conjunction with the annual members’ exhibition at the Brisbane Institute of Art.
From 2021, the Award was made a biennial acquisitive prize, open to all Australian citizens and permanent residents, with the winning piece added to the Permanent Collection.
In 2023 the Award included the Gwyn Hanssen Pigott Wood Fired Ceramics Award presented by the Australian Wood Firers United.[9]

Ian Currie Memorial Lecture[edit]
Ian Currie was a potter and glaze researcher who studied and worked with clay and glazes for over 30 years in south-east Queensland. His systematic approach was the basis of his first course, offered to the Queensland Potters' Association (now CAQ) in 1979. In his book, Stoneware Glazes: A Systematic Approach, Ian Currie [21], Currie says, “I learned as much as any of my students .... I would like to express my gratitude to my many friends in QPA who contributed so much to the development of the course”.
The annual Ian Currie Memorial Lecture aims to foster continued work in the field of pottery glaze research by other leading ceramic artists. Previous presenters include: Mitsuo Shoji, Jeff Mincham, Stephen Bowers, Dennis Forshaw, Paul Davis and Jacqueline Clayton, Renton Bishopric, Greg Daly, and Dr Steve Harrison.
