Join us for a celebration of clay in local venues, galleries and outdoor spaces across Whakatū in October.

Nelson Clay Week brings together potters, ceramicists and artists from across Aotearoa and beyond for a series of workshops and events designed for everyone, from seasoned makers to complete beginners.

Our programme is packed with a diverse range of activities, including workshops, artist talks, exhibitions, live demonstrations and public displays of clay.

Arts Council Nelson produces Nelson Clay Week as a biennial event.

Arts Council Nelson has a diverse year-round programme of engaging community-driven and contemporary exhibitions, projects and events that stimulate and strengthen the artistic and cultural life of Whakatū.
