One thing we hear the most in the shop is ‘wow it looks so different!

From matt and chalky to smooth shiny and bright - the firing process completely transforms the appearance of the pottery. And it’s always so nice to see your reactions when you collect your pottery!

Our team have been busy recently visiting local nurseries doing some prints getting ready for Mother’s Day. But we’re always looking for new groups to visit for all occasions!

How it works: we will send the staff at the baby group or nursery an order form with 9 different pottery items and colours to choose from. Once this form is filled out and returned, we will get together all the pieces and bring them along to a pre-assigned slot at the group and take the prints of your child in your preferred colour. We will then take it back to our studio where our artists will personalise the items with multicoloured stars, writing and a rim. It will then be returned to the baby group within a couple of weeks where they will be handed out for you to take home

If you’re local to Witney and work for a baby group, or think your child’s nursery might be interested, give Holly an email on Holly@thepotteryplace.co.uk to enquire

Loading the kiln is like playing a game of Tetris.

And our kiln wizards have to make sure everything this spaced and secure in order to have a successful firing!
