About Croft
Croft Pottery was set up in Rainton, North Yorkshire in 2021 by professional Potter and Ceramic Artist Joseph Ludkin.
Joseph has been joined by Iona Crawford Topp who started teaching in 2022 and Morag Watson who has became the pottery technician and taster course teacher.
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 signature work. The gallery is open by appointment please use our Contact page to arrange a viewing.
