In 2007, whilst unable to throw due to a broken arm, Adam Keeling, won DEFRA funding for the building of our gallery, The Octagon. This added a beautiful building to The Pottery while also giving us a unique opportunity to support and exhibit top British and Japanese ceramicists.
As well as ceramics, we now display the work of over 50 British artisans and pride ourselves in always having fresh, new and handmade gift ideas and goodies.
