For more than 60 years, our association has supported potters and ceramic artists in Christchurch and the Canterbury region.

We are a sociable group, interested in all aspects of ceramics, and we welcome new members who wish to share and learn more about our craft.

We offer pottery classes at every level, for adults and young people. These classes, in which many Canterbury potters began their professional careers, cater for both experienced potters and absolute beginners. You do not need to be a member of the club to attend our classes, but many of our students enjoy the benefits of membership.

We have facilities for a wide range of ceramic techniques including electric and gas kilns, electric wheels, specialist glaze room, an extensive library for reference and inspiration, plus a significant collection of work from members and visiting potters.

We have a significant collection of ceramics by notable New Zealand and overseas potters, many of which are on display. Our extensive library features books and periodicals collected by the club over 50 years; they are a valuable resource for students and members alike, for research and inspiration.

During the year, we host a variety of social events like open days, workshops, celebrations, demonstrations and special firings. In November each year, we present our annual exhibition of work at the Canterbury museum.
