About Us

The Brantford Potters’ Guild was founded in 1975 and became a not-for-profit organization in 1978. What began as a small group of just 15 members has grown into a thriving community of over 150 potters today.

Teaching Studio

In September 2014, ClayWorks Studio proudly opened its doors as a dedicated teaching pottery studio, offering year-round classes and workshops for both adults and children.

Operated by the Brantford Potters’ Guild, ClayWorks Studio is a fully equipped space for both hand-building and wheel-throwing, and welcomes potters of all experience levels.
