The Australian Ceramics Association (TACA) is the peak national ceramics organisation in Australia. Membership is open to everyone interested in Australian ceramics, including professional ceramicists and potters, hobbyists, teachers, students, curators, collectors, writers and enthusiasts. We aim to connect with established ceramic groups such as societies, clubs, study groups and associations and those who exhibit ceramics such as galleries, artist-run spaces, retail shops, online stores and public institutions. We are a not-for-profit company limited by guarantee. The association was founded in 1956 in Sydney as the Potters Society of New South Wales and soon became the Potters Society of Australia. We currently have approximately 1600 members, 4 part-time staff and a Board of 7 voluntary Directors from different parts of Australia.
