The Bridge Pottery Collective (BPC) was established in 2011 as a home for pottery equipment, including a lustre kiln. In 2011, the BPC opened in St Margaret’s House, an Edinburgh-based art centre.

About Opportunity

The Collective are staging an exhibition soon in the impressive gallery spaces of St Margaret’s.  There will be three concurrent exhibitions running, one of which will celebrate the life and work of Margery Clinton who bequeathed the lustre kiln to the BPC.

Skills & Experience

Alison Robinson, the curator of this exhibition and co-founder of the BPC, will need several volunteers to help place the works in the show. An interest in the arts in desired, but the ability to carefully follow instructions is the only essential, considering the fragile nature of the works on display.
