POT SHOP
Pot Shop
is a pottery co-operative featuring the work of some of the
innovative and technically expert clay workers from the wider
Christchurch area. The direct and simple name belies the wide
range of skills and techniques that are presented by the
grouping of the various talents. For many years the Pot Shop has
operated from the Arts Centre of Christchurch, but with that
venue closed the work of the members can be viewed at craft
shows such as Dunkleys, pottery exhibitions and by contacting
the various members directly or through their individual
