Titirangi Potters is a vibrant pottery club, located in the Waitakere ranges on Auckland's western fringe. Members, both amateurs and accomplished potters, take part in local and national exhibitions throughout New Zealand, and work in a wide range of ceramic styles.
The studio, situated amongst temperate rainforest, is well-equipped with kilns, wheels, and workspace.
The club was founded in 1974 and was originally based in the old community house in Titirangi's Rangiwai Road. In 2002, Waitakere City Council built the new Titirangi Community House alongside the hall and library in Titirangi Memorial Park on South Titirangi Road, with the Titirangi Potters’ studio accommodated beneath.
You can see what goes on at Titirangi Potters through the doors on the track/ stairs that run between the Titirangi Hall and Park Road. If someone is working inside, feel free to pop your head in and say hello. The studio has two gas-fired kilns, two electric kilns, five potters’ wheels, and everything that an aspiring potter needs to make amazing works in clay. Whilst small, it is perfectly suited for members to share ideas and work alongside each other.
We're a friendly bunch, so please come down to the studio, or look around our website to find out more about what makes Titirangi Potters a very special pottery club.
We consider new members each February and the number of new members depends on the renewal rate of current members. Pottery is currently extremely popular (which is great) but it means we are at capacity for our small studio. To be added to the waitlist for the next membership please get in touch here.
In late 2020 we were delighted to add two kilns to our studio resources. The kilns were partly funded through generous grants from the Waitakere Local Board and Foundation North. We would like to thank these Trusts for their commitment to local arts and enabling social outcomes for the people of Titirangi.
