The Potter’s Studio was first conceived in 1971 by a group of twelve people.  With support from the local potters’ community and the Clay and Glass Association (now called Fusion), the studio was born.

Space was rented at 328 Dupont Street and the studio was up and running by April,1972.  Word spread and soon there were forty members and a waiting list of people wanting to join. In June, 1977, the sale of the building on Dupont Street necessitated the move to 2 Thorncliffe Park, Unit 16.

By 2002, we were able to accommodate fifty potters. This was the year we received a Trillium Grant to improve the accessibility of our physical space and to participate in workshops with not-for-profit community groups and other outreach activities.  In the fall of 2020, we moved a few doors down to the beautifully renovated space at Unit 19. This was the year we launched our online shop.

In 2022, we received notice that we had to move again to accommodate the Metrolinx Maintenance yards. We landed in our bigger and brighter studio last year.
