Where can I buy pottery?
We have many talented ceramic artists amongst our membership who sell work. If you are looking for a special, locally made mug for a special gift, or a unique vase for your dining table, we have a list of makers to consider. Check out some of our makers...

You were fantastic in the way you lead the group and didn’t bog us down in too much detail – obviously we aren’t professional potters but just enjoyed getting in the moment of making and creating.
We can’t wait to pick up all the treasures when they are ready.
