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, expertly forged and found in our community. We utilise both natural products and byproducts from various processes, carefully refining them in our studio to create our unique glazes. This approach not only enhances sustainability but also contributes to the distinct character of each piece.

Some of the materials include waste tailings from Cornish granite quarries, calcium derived from local seashells, and ash from local plants that have been burned in wood-fired processes.

Our

Studio

Every step of the process—creating, glazing, and firing—is expertly carried out in our own studio.
