Waterloo Potters' Workshop

We are a non-profit Cooperative located in the historic Jacob Eby Farmhouse in Waterloo Park in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, since 1967. We have a well-equipped pottery studio, offer classes to the public and organize pottery sales and charity events.

OPEN HOUSE 2023

We are opening our doors for two days, and all are welcome to visit! We will have demonstrations of wheel throwing and hand building. You can tour our facility and chat over tea and treats.

You will find us in Waterloo Park, just off the end of Young St in the historic Erb Farm House. October 21 and 22 from 10am to 3pm.

Our Adult Classes fill up very quickly. 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 in April. In late spring, members donate ‘seconds’ or less-than-perfect pots for the Celebrate Summer Open House Seconds Sale, where all proceeds are donated to local children's charities.
