The Pottery studio has been designed as a functional pottery space for our resident professional potters but also as a welcoming learning space for our Pottery Courses.
Croft Pottery also houses a small showroom and gallery space selling tableware as well as a selection of Joseph and Iona's signature work. The gallery is open by appointment please use our Contact page to arrange a viewing.
