TUKU Whakatu - Play with Clay at Nelson Community Potters

Come play with clay at Nelson Community Potters,

This community pottery open day invites everyone to experience the joy of pottery. Our doors will be open for 50-minute slots where participants can try their hand at wheel throwing or hand-building with clay. Supported by our dedicated pottery volunteers, this fun, hands-on event is perfect for discovering the art of clay. Held in our heritage building, come and connect with the rich cultural and artistic legacy of Nelson. This will be a fun session of creativity, community and connection.

This is your chance to have a go on a wheel or hand-build with clay and find out more about the rich history of the club. Volunteer Community Potters members will offer tips and tricks and work alongside you, sharing their passion and knowledge.

To make sure everyone has a chance to participate, we’ll hold four 50 minute sessions on the hour. Clay, advice, tools and materials will be provided. Please bring an apron to wear or clothes that are OK to get mucky!

Creations will not be able to be fired, but you’re welcome to take it home or we can recycle it.
