A PLACE WORTH KNOWING
A slower afternoon, with clay on your hands
A welcoming community pottery studio and creative hub on the edge of Chagford, with workshops for different ages and abilities.
Dartmoor Makers gives a day in Chagford a different kind of souvenir: something you have made yourself. The community pottery studio and creative hub offers workshops alongside open studio sessions and membership, with a programme that also includes children and families. Inside, practical worktables, shelves and pottery equipment put the focus on doing rather than watching. Beginners are welcome, so a first experiment with clay is a perfectly good reason to come. Look through the current programme for the session that fits your day, book a place and let the making become the main event rather than squeezing it between other stops.
