I believe the answer is:

stopover

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'make break' is the definition.
'stopover' can be an answer for 'break'. I am unsure of the 'make' bit.

'journey to get pots?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'to' is within the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for stopover that I've seen before include "Break in a journey" , "Stay (of just one night?)" , "Overnight stay" , "bed and breakfast?" , "that hotel can provide?" .)
