This year we are 10!

On 27th January we turned 10!

We are so proud of this milestone and throughout this year we are planning lots of different ways to celebrate from competitions to prize draws and events. Give us a follow on our socials for details.

Passionate about Pottery,

People and the Planet

Our aim is to provide pottery classes for all, in a safe, relaxed and fun environment. Somewhere to meet and learn a new skill. We are more than just a pottery studio, we are a community.

Sustainability is at the heart of everything we do, from ethical banking to green energy and of course, going Plastic FREE! We constantly strive to cut our carbon emissions and reduce our impact on the planet. We are partnered with The Sustainable Business Resource and Plastic FREE North Devon, two significant local initiatives.
