The club brings together potters for social contact and the exchange of ideas and technical information. In the grounds of Atwell house we have a work shed with pottery equipment and a kiln room with two electric kilns. Members of the club have full access to these. We also have a slab roller and wheels. The Potters' Club also has a comprehensive library of pottery reference books for members to borrow. The Melville Arts Association has a gift shop at Atwell House which sells crafts produced by members.
Apart from the Wednesday meetings, the club regularly participates in community events such as the Craft and Quilt Show at the showgrounds, Rotary Fairs and visits to prominent Perth potters. A raku firing is an annual event.
