The Potter's Studio

The Potter's Studio The Potter's Studio With great support from the local potters' community, and the Clay and Glass Association which is now called Fusion, the studio was born.

In 1971 The Ontario College of Art and Central Technical School were the only places offering pottery classes for a limited number of adult students. Because there were so few opportunities for an eager non-professional potter who wished to take potting seriously, a group of 12 people conceived the idea of starting a co-operative Studio. Space was rented at 328 Dupont Street, shelves were built, supplies, equipment and materials were ordered. By April 1972 the Studio was up and running. The word had spread, and there was a membership of 40, as well as a waiting list of people who wanted to join. In June 1977 the sale of the building on Dupont Street necessitated the move to the present location at Thorncliffe Park where we can accomodate 50 potters. We are a not for profit co-operative.

Create the classic and most useful vessel of all: a mug made by you. In this hands-on beginner workshop at The Potter’s Studio, you’ll learn the basics of handbuilding and create a mug designed around how you like to use it.

Will yours be a classic coffee mug, a generous b**r stein, or a cozy soup cup? Come with an idea for yourself or someone special, and we’ll help you turn it into a one-of-a-kind piece.

No experience is needed. It’s a fun, relaxed way to explore hand-building, learn new pottery skills, and make something you’ll actually use and enjoy.

Get creative with clay and make something special for the fall season. In this beginner-friendly pottery workshop, you’ll try your hand at wheel throwing to create a small bowl or vessel, then use handbuilding techniques to make a pinch pot vessel or sculpture inspired by Halloween or fall celebrations.

Bring your own ideas if you like, or let the clay inspire you. With guidance from experienced potters, you’ll learn, experiment, and enjoy a relaxed evening of hands-on creativity.

No experience is needed, and all materials, tools, and instruction are provided.
