The Heart of Clay Week, Potters Square is our interface between the public and the potters. A place for potters to catch up, share and demonstrate their skills.

A place for the public to get ‘hands-on’ with clay each day and contribute toward the creation of a large-scale public community artwork.

Grab the kids and bring them down to the clay table to get creative!

Our opening event will feature the Potters Market alongside Potters Square in the main street of Nelson where artisans from near and far will gather to showcase and sell a huge assortment of their fabulous wares.

Please contact us if you would like to have a stall at the market.

Nelson's art galleries proudly present a range of carefully curated exhibitions and retailers within the CBD have come on board to enable us to showcase the ever-growing talent of Aotearoa's clay community.

To find out more about the showcases check out the Gallery Page here...soon.

Join Clay Week co-organisers Thom Baker, Jim Squigley and guests on the couch for lively conversations from the depths of the Kiln.

See members of Ngā Kaihanga Uku speak and create on stage.

Windows into the lives of potters will be placed around the city, stop and take a moment to watch it all unfold.
