Manchester Ceramics Collective is a group of 11 ceramicists and potters working out of a shared production studio in Old Trafford.
The studio was set up with the aim of providing a supportive community for ceramicists to grow and develop their practice. Founded in 2018 by Sarah Baines, Matt Cronshaw, Sarah Crosby, Sarah Fraser, and Rebecca Morris, it is a workspace for independent makers that supports a communal way of working where we support and challenge each other.
By sharing resources and working on projects and events together, the collective has quickly gone from strength to strength and now creates ceramics for some of the top chefs, restaurants, coffee shops, and cafes as well as featuring work in independent stores and galleries across the country.
