Craft Potters Association of Great Britain

The Craft Potters Association was formed in 1958 to promote the work of its members and to increase public awareness of contemporary studio pottery, opening their first small shop in Soho, in London's West End. As the membership grew, the Craftsman Potter's Shop and Gallery moved around the corner to a larger premises in Marshall Street.

Ceramic Review Magazine was launched, becoming a respected international journal, and always reflecting the diversifying scene in contemporary pottery and ceramics. In 2010. the CPA opened the Contemporary Ceramic Centre in Bloomsbury, opposite the British Museum, bringing the shop, the offices of the association and the magazine under one roof for the first time, and with room to create a dedicated gallery space for a changing programme of shows of the very best artist potters and ceramic artists.

Recently becoming a member of the International Academy of Ceramics, the CPA today has a membership of over three hundred Selected and Fellow members and over seven hundred associates, and through its businesses, events and activities continues to be a standard bearer for excellence in British studio ceramics.

For as long as I can remember loving ceramics I can remember Ceramic Review. Offering an insight into the very best of the contemporary scene, as well as engaging accounts of potters of the past, Ceramic Review is an indispensable reference source to students, scholars and enthusiasts, that pays tribute to the versatility and universality of the medium of clay.

It was a wonderful opportunity to be included in Ceramic Review and share my knowledge and experience with such a wide audience. I first came across Ceramic Review over 30 years ago when working with Robin Welch in Suffolk. It is an important publication and is extremely supportive of the ceramics community.

Following the announcements made by the Government, we have closed the AP Clay Stores until further notice. Clay is an essential supply for us, but, unfortunately, it's not covered by the definition, so we have had to stop trading immediately. We are sorry about this, but we have to ensure the health and safety of our volunteers and members, and do our bit to suppress this virus, as I'm sure you will all agree. We will open up again as soon as it's safe.

Stay safe and well. Working with clay is good for you!

Anglian Potters is a lively and thriving organisation that aims to provide the opportunity for members to meet and share their experience and enthusiasm about clay. Anglian Potters is run entirely by volunteers from the membership - so please do bear this in mind when interacting with any of our services - demo days, clay stores, etc. - someone is giving up their time to help you!

You can see the work of our members on the showcase pages, and find out how to get in touch with them.

There is news about Anglian Potters events, and news provided by members.

We run exhibitions throughout the year, and join in with other public events around our region.

If you want to learn about ceramics, there are many courses run by members.

We run several day events per year, with nationally and internationally known potters demonstrating and talking about their work.

There is a password protected area for members, which includes membership renewal and updating, news about member only activities and information about our clay stores and other member facilities.
