Potteries Hackspace formed in 2010 as a group of technology enthusiasts, engineers and creative minds in Stoke-on-Trent and the wider Potteries area.

Where things stand

As of October 2026, the group is dormant. We paused after losing our premises and have no usable workshop or regular open nights. No formal decision on the group’s future has been made since the September 2020 AGM.

Our aim and history

Our aim was to provide a shared community workspace and equipment, helping people develop skills and share experience. Members worked on projects involving computers, electronics, engineering, science and art.

The group was established as a not-for-profit membership organisation with charitable aims. Its constitution records that framework; it does not establish current workshop access or membership arrangements.
