Potters Patch Cooperative

Tucked away in the heart of the Nelson Region, Potters Patch Cooperative is more than just a pottery and supplies store; it's a vibrant hub where creativity thrives and passion for handcrafted artistry is celebrated. Established many years ago, our cooperative was born from a shared love for clay and a desire to nurture the community's creative spirit. Our journey began in a humble workshop, where local artisans gathered to share their skills, knowledge, and enthusiasm for pottery. Over time, we expanded our walls to accommodate more artists and a wider array of beautiful handcrafted pieces. Today, Potters Patch Cooperative stands as a testament to the power of collaboration and shared creativity. We take great pride in offering an extensive collection of pottery and supplies, catering to both beginners and seasoned potters alike. From our carefully curated range of locally-made pottery to imported products from esteemed Trade Aid partners, we strive to provide everything a potter could need to bring their vision to life. In our spacious workshops, students can hone their skills under the guidance of experienced instructors or simply indulge in the therapeutic joy of working with clay. Our workshops are more than just classes; they foster a sense of camaraderie and support among participants that transcends beyond the classroom walls. At Potters Patch Cooperative, we believe that pottery is not merely a hobby or a craft – it's an art form that connects us to our roots, reminds us of the simplicity of life, and provides a means of self-expression. We invite you to visit our charming cooperative, immerse yourself in the enchanting world of pottery, and discover the unique beauty of handcrafted pieces that bear the imprint of an artist's soul. Together, let's celebrate creativity, nurture talent, and continue the rich tradition of pottery and design in the Nelson Region.
