Community Pottery Studio
SHARED POTTERY MAKER SPACE
We are a community pottery studio, providing space for our potters to make all things ceramic. Some of our potters have been with us for over 15 years. Our focus is creating an encouraging and supportive environment to learn pottery, and ceramic skills, in friendly pottery classes that are easy to meet new people in Manchester. For more experienced potters we run regular weekly intermediate classes as well as house a shared pottery maker space, running alongside our taught pottery classes and workshops.
