Our Story & Mission
Established on 17th June, 1976, Nelson Community Potters obtained a historic villa in 1978, and they have been steadfast in their commitment to promoting the art of pottery in Nelson ever since. Dedicated volunteers contribute approximately 1500 hours of their time annually to ensure the ongoing operation of the building and its accessibility to the broader community.
