Welcome to our seventh online exhibition, Online VII.
The online version of this catalogue will allow you to zoom in, and as the images are shot at such high resolution, you will be able to see the intricate characteristics of the glazes and the slips beneath them.
Each of the pieces is listed for sale in the online shop on our website, please follow the links from each of the catalogue entries to buy the piece or make an enquiry.
We hope you enjoy what you see in the forthcoming pages and please feel free to contact us with any queries. We can take further photos or a short video to show the pot in 360 degrees if that would be helpful. If you would like to ‘virtually’ see a pot, please contact us and we can arrange a suitable to time to hold a video call with you over the internet.

For other countries we can give you a quote if you would like us to. We aim to provide the best value at time of dispatch.

Payment can be taken through the website by credit or debit card or PayPal or there is still the BACS or cheque options too if you prefer. We will send the pots out as soon as we are able to though if the pots sell quickly there are only the two of us wrapping and packing so please bear with us.
Visitors are welcome to come and view the pots at the workshop, just drop us a line to arrange a mutually convenient time.
To get the high gloss finish on our pots we like to glaze thickly. Our glazes are fluid so on occasion we will grind back excess glaze from the foot of the pot to ensure that the piece will sit properly on a flat surface. We only grind the glaze however, not the body of the pot.
Should you be unhappy with your purchase for any reason, you may send the piece back within 28 days of receiving it and we will offer a refund upon safe return of the work.
