NOTICE BOARD

  • After a lot of stressful deliberation, I have decided to up and move to Glossop in the foothills of the Peak District! Unfortunately, trying to make a living from the pottery is proving to be extremely difficult along with the present economic climate. I will be working part time to help fund the pottery with the vision of eventually being able to concentrate on the pottery full time in the future. The workshop is still in mid Wales but will eventually will be situated nearer Glossop when suitable premises are found. Work will be transported to the wild hills of mid Wales and fired in the wood kiln for the foreseeable future.

  • Good News! After losing so many pots in the last few firings, this latest firing is a resounding success. Many of the pots will be going to the Twenty Twenty gallery in Much Wenlock for a show running from Saturday 14th to Tuesday 31st March. To see the fruits of my labour click here
