The Boss Lady
Maggie started The Pottery Place in 2001 in her words as 'a midlife crisis' and has never looked back. The inspiration was to have a business that was creative and involved her love of ceramics. 15 years on the shop/studio is thriving with her team of wonderful staff.

At our sister company, the Arty Crafty Place, you will discover a whole world of gorgeousness! The Arty Crafty Place started in 2008 in our attic, grew out of two more homes, and is now based at what we call 'The Barn' in Middle Aston. As well as being the UK's biggest and best Decopatch stockist, you will find a huge decoupage collection, plus several ranges we have designed ourselves, including the wonderful Block Craft Indian printing range, Weave Art and DecoArt paint ranges. Pop on over to the website and lose yourself in our gorgeous collections!

Orders can be delivered direct to you or you can pick them up from The Pottery Place in Witney - we have a small amount of Decopatch and Block Craft here too, and you can browse the whole range at www.theartycraftyplace.co.uk. Drop the Arty Crafty Girls a line at shop@theartycraftyplace.co.uk or give them a call on 01869 349020, and they'll be happy to help.

Testimonials

"Have been here 4 occasions with my daughters, I've been myself twice & also done a class last night! The staff are amazing, helpful & so friendly. Highly recommended."
- Lynda-Jane Sharp

"We really enjoyed the spooky block printing workshop, even my son who was a bit worried that he wouldn't. Our host Daisy was really friendly, as were all members of staff we encountered. Factor in the free parking for 3 hours close by ... plus a friendly... market town with a great variety of shops to mooch about afterwards made for an excellent trip out from Reading. Thanks Pottery Place, we hope to be back" - Natalie Burton
