Education
The Potteries Museum & Art Gallery provides a range of inspiring workshops from Foundation to Key Stage 4 classes. Our workshops have been carefully developed to inspire, involve and motivate. We offer hands on, interactive workshops where your pupils can get up close to our amazing collections. Our collections include: local history, natural science, fine art, craft and ceramics.
All our workshops are designed to support learning in the classroom and we are able to make adaptations to workshops to suit any access needs.
We are currently redeveloping our school programme to conform to Covid-19 safety strategies. Some workshops may have been temporarily changed for your safety.

This toolkit is a cookery book that gives ingredients and methods to creatively engage diverse audiences with clay and ceramics collections. Part of the EU funded project Ceramics and its Dimensions.
Touching Ceramics
The Potteries Museum & Art Gallery, as part of the EU funded project, Ceramics and its Dimensions have developed a resource for introducing ceramics collections for adults with visual impairments.
