Volunteer with us!
Volunteers are a highly valued and appreciated part of our team. We are incredibly grateful for the time, energy and enthusiasm our volunteers offer and we can be sure the Leach Pottery wouldn’t be the same without them.
We are always looking for new Volunteers to bring unique skills and a fresh perspective to our team. Everyone is welcome!
If you enjoy meeting new people, are passionate about St Ives’ community and heritage, and want to learn more about pottery and develop your skills, we would love to meet you.
“The process for becoming a volunteer was a good, friendly, helpful and informative experience”
“The pottery receives a wonderful mix of visitors, some of whom are potters in their own right - each visitor has a story to tell. The staff are lovely, and other volunteers are friendly and willing to help.”
