The Cairns Potters Club was established in 1974 to promote and foster an interest in pottery in the community; provide facilities and opportunities for members and associated groups in the Region and to expand and develop their professional skills through classes, exhibitions, workshops, seminars and commissioned work.  A primary focus is establishment of a regional ceramic entity, identifying commercial opportunities, while promoting local artists throughout Australia.

The Club has published a  short history titled "Three Decades of Ceramics in Far North Queensland An informal History of CairnsPotters Club, authored by the then president and life member, Lone White.

Lone White was presented with Cairns Regional Councils Australia Day medal for Culture and the Arts (2011).

The Cairns Regional Council Australia Day Awards are endorsed by the Federal and State Governments in line with the national Australia Day Awards, and recognise the unsung heroes in our community who enrich the lives of others, and do so with no fanfare and very little public recognition.

 

As an accomplished Ceramicist and life member of both the Cairns Art Society and the Cairns Potters Club Lone has devoted enormous energy into the promotion, support and recognition of Visual Arts within the broader Cairns Region.
