Hi & welcome pippa11 There are quite a few especially modern ones that have been developed for pot culture. A couple of questions will help so people can make suggestions.
Do you have a preference for colour? How big a pot would you like to use? Space for it to grow and height? How deep is the shade, does it get some sunshine for part of the day?
You will need to decide what to use to support it in the pot. Any pot you use will need to be either heavy, or have a wide stable base. A tall narrow one will leave you repeatedly dashing out to stand it up in windy weather.
Many clematis are greedy feeders and need a lot of water and feeding to flower well even though we might suggest a shade tolerant one. If you also look for the term "Patio" clematis on specialist sites you will find the more modern or suitable varieties.
I had Hagley Hybrid growing up a pole under the canopy of my porch at the front of my north-facing house. It was in deep shade all the time yet it flowered profusely from late spring through to autumn. No idea if it's suitable for a pot, but seemed very happy in deep shade.

Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.
Pete.8 It does do quite well in a pot. And looks good in shade, the flowers really stand out don't they I had one temporarily in a relatively small pot ( about a foot wide (30cms) diameter) under north facing conifers. It got slightly ignored though not neglected and still had some flowers.
I was so impressed with it, but sadly it had to go when I had the porch re-built. It really brightened up a very dull spot where I didn't think anything would grow.

Many of the Viticella Group and Viorna Group are perfectly happy in shade, not dense shade with no daylight obviously. Have a look at one of my favourites, ianthina Josies Midnight Blue.
