Public Classes

We have two new classes starting in February for those who have a home studio! Waterloo Potters' Workshop is participating in pilot workshops to develop best practices for teaching clay classes online. Participants are eligible for a $100 rebate for providing their input, made possible by the Canada Council for the Arts. Sign up and read more about both the Wheel and Handbuilding classes available. Note the Handbuilding class includes space for both in class and at home students - make your selection during registration. 

Watch for registration for in person Spring classes for beginners coming soon.

We've been around for over 50 years! We're opening up to new members this fall. LEARN MORE

Our Adult Classes fill up very quickly, in a matter of a day or two. Feel free to fill in the wait list form. We email folks on this list before we go public with class announcements. At the bottom of our adult classes page is a list of potters in the region who teach. It's more difficult for us to offer children's classes at the point. Keep an eye here for updates!

We have two main pottery sales where members’ work is showcased: the Fall Sale in November and the Spring Sale is usually in April, but in 2021 it was in August. In June, members donate ‘seconds’ or less-than-perfect pots for the Celebrate Summer Open House Seconds Sale, where all proceeds are donated to local charities.
