More about us
We provide a welcoming and inclusive space where people of all ages, backgrounds and skill levels can meet to explore clay and pottery. Our aim is to foster creativity, wellness and community connection with the community of Chesterfield and surrounding areas.
CCP is a not for profit Community Interest Company founded in 2024 by a group of enthusiastic potters who met at adult education classes. Such was our disappointment when our beloved classes stopped running we formed a working group to explore the possibilities of running our own pottery space. And here we are!
Our aim is to develop a space which will benefit the local community through inclusive access to creative pottery classes and the development of makers’ facilities. After months of hard work and fundraising we are starting out in November 2025 in our brand new premises and look forward to making more connections (and more pots!) with new and existing members.
Our first block of classes start the week beginning 19th November 2025 for 5 weeks. Each week we are running a variety of daytime and evening sessions, each being 2.5 hours long. Groups are mixed ability so if you fancy joining us please book at the link or for more details contact us below.
Our classes are run by award winning local potter Clare Gage. Clare has a wealth of experience of teaching ceramics and brings her friendly and supportive teaching style to CCP.
If you are interested in joining us or have any questions about what we do, we'd love to hear from you.
