About

Learn about our life's work making pottery, our wee studio shop and meet the makers, Junko and Paul.

Our work

From the beginning we have focused on supplying customers directly with reasonably priced, high quality stoneware that is warm, simple and easy on the eye.

With the distinctive range of glazes we’ve developed over more than thirty years, everything from a simply glazed bowl to a highly decorated piece is created with the same care and consideration.

Apart from the porcelain, everything is high-fired oxidised stoneware, fired in an electric kiln, approaching 1300 degrees Celsius. We hope our pots are heart-warming for the user, from the comfort of a curved form with a calming glaze, to the reassurance that comes from knowing a thing has been well made, using the highest quality materials.

Our wee shop

We love to welcome old and new customers alike, be it for browsing or with a clear intention. We benefit from many customers who have grown to know our wares over the years, some building up there own sets of ware for the home, or finding us a good source of successful gifts for friends and family. If we haven’t made it already, we are always interested to hear suggestions of things we could make in the future!

As well as our highly individual work – including crystal glazing, calming celadon porcelain, darker, expressive slips with gold lustre and more – we make sure we keep a wide price range of wares on sale, with plenty of items selling for under £20. We make pots for all sorts of purposes, from the more usual mugs, jugs, bowls, vases, and teapots to colanders, goblets, garlic pots, salt crocks, candleholders, cheese bells and planters, even the occasional five gallon teapot!
