Kind words

Came wrapped in paper with a handwritten note. A perfect gift.

The mug is my favourite thing in the kitchen. It feels like it was made for my hand.

Beautiful and sturdy. They have survived a year of daily use.

Our story

The studio began in a garden shed with a second hand wheel and a kiln that needed coaxing. We now work from a bright workshop with three potters and a very patient cat.

Every piece starts as a lump of local stoneware clay. We throw it, trim it, dry it slowly and fire it twice, first to bisque and then to nearly thirteen hundred degrees.
