What people say
”"Fantastic time learning to throw pots with Rob - a great morning of stories and learning how to use the wheel. Both of us had a grand time and were amazed at what we made in only a morning. Looking forward to eating our cereal out of our bowls already!"
”"Simply a wonderful experience. Having never held clay before, let alone considered throwing it, Rob was an excellent instructor with boundless enthusiasm, passion and encouragement. Such wonderful story telling too and importantly easy to hear and understand. It's abundantly clear that Rob wants to make pottery accessible to everyone!"
”"Rob is an incredible teacher. passionate about clay and pottery. He gave me great insights about local artisans and the history of Cornish pottery.. I would definitely recommend."
The Studio
Our Clay
We collect our clay locally, sourcing it from the same high-quality materials used by the renowned Leach Pottery. Provided by the Doble family in St. Agnes, this clay is celebrated as the finest in Craft Cornwall.
Our Glaze
Our glazes are crafted from locally sourced materials, combining natural resources with byproducts gathered, forged, and refined within our community. We work with elements such as Cornish granite quarry tailings, calcium from local seashells, and ash from wood-fired plant matter, carefully processing each in our studio. This approach not only promotes sustainability but also imbues every piece with a distinct sense of place and character.
Our Studio
Every step of the process—creating, glazing, and firing—is expertly carried out in our own studio.
