Welcome!
The Brantford Potters’ Guild was founded in 1975 and became a not-for-profit organization in 1978. Since then, our membership has grown from just 15 people to a vibrant community of over 150 members today.
Our Studio
In September 2014, ClayWorks Studio proudly opened its doors. This teaching pottery studio hosts year-round classes and workshops for adults and children.
We’re excited to share that we are expanding this summer, creating a dedicated 24/7 access studio space for members and adding even more class options for both new and returning students.
Run by the Brantford Potters’ Guild, ClayWorks Studio offers a fully equipped space for hand-building and wheel-throwing, welcoming all experience levels.
Access to the studio is limited to members and registered students. Classes and workshops are available for children, youth, and adults throughout the year.
