We’re inviting potters to join our pottery handbuilders co-op as creators, we’d love for you to be part of it. Working from the corner of your living room, the garage or (as we started) storing pottery equipment in a guest shower, you know how space can inhibit creativity. Join our small group of community-minded potters through the limited Potterings membership. You don’t need to be a pro potter, just have a need to want to join a community-minded supportive studio. We do have some options for experienced potters who would like to teach though, so keep on reading.
