Greetings fellow potters, I too have been lurking for some time now and
thoroughly enjoying following the discussions. I particularly appreciate the
glaze chemistry
kind, the raku and pit firing, the philosophy......well just about everything!
Having moved twice in two years, and now starting up a hobby farm, life is
very busy but
the new studio,formerly stable/workshop, is almost completed, my creative
juices are flowing and the sun is shining. What more could a potter want?
This summer I will be taking a potters' tour of Ireland (south coast)
including the International Potters Festival at Aberystwyth, Wales and the
Victoria and Albert Museum in London. Then some of us are going on to
explore the potteries of Devonshire, Cornwall, and Stoke-On-Trent. I will
also be in Scotland, and Northern Ireland. Yes, it's a dream about to come
true!
I loved the information on English pottery in January (but lost the info on
Cambridge) and would love some on the south coast, Scotland and north and
central Ireland. If anybody can help, it would be greatly appreciated.

The one pottery on the Dingle Peninsula in Western Ireland is filled with
lovely work. The Dingle Peninsula, the westernmost land in Europe, is
breathtakingly lovely. Don't miss it. Jeni

I am going to be in Ireland next month. Can you tell me the name of the
pottery on the Dingle Peninsula. We will be in that part of the country. We
are renting a cottage by the sea in Donegal. We are will also be going down
the coast as far as the Cliffs of Moher so if anyone has any recommedations
for sightseeing or great places to eat I would very much appreciate the
information.
Thanks!

Daphne..
If you are still interested in visiting potteries and galleries in the UK,
we enjoyed the following enormously:
1. Craft Potters Assoc. Shop in Marshall St., London. You probably
know about this one anyway, but it gives a great overview of current
British pottery.
2. John Leach's pottery at Muchelney, Somerset. On the way to Devon.
Superb pots, lovely countryside, great guy. Also don't miss his exhibition
among the ruins of Muchelney Abbey nearby, if it's running still. And
visit the local village pub too.
3. Ray Finch at Michael Cardew's old pottery, Winchcombe, Glos. Look
for the old bottle kiln in the nettles behind the buildings. About 200
yrs. old and last fired by M. C. in the 30's. Some old cardew pots still
inside!
4. The Tate Gallery at St. Ives, Cornwall, plus all the other private
galleries. Also Janet Leach's gallery just out of town.
5. The Devon County Gallery at Bovey Tracey, just north of the road
through Devon heading west towards Cornwall. Tons of good West Country
stuff here. David Leach's pottery is nearby.

Hi Daphne!
I've just returned from 5 days in Devon (literally 30 mins ago! First
thing I did was caught up with CLAYART!)
I spent the time with Clive Pearson, a stoneware potter who
specialises chun glazes. He is based in Hartland and Clovelly (5 mins
from each other).
1 min walk, right around the corner, from the Hartland Pottery is
Philip Leach's Springfield Pottery - earthenware with fab variations
in decoration!
Just down the road a bit you can find Roger Harris, Cranford Barn
pottery, Cranford, follow the signs for Woolsfardsworthy (pronounced
Woolsery!)
On the Bideford to Torrington Road you'll find signs to Monkleigh,
where Richard Champion has his pottery - single firing stoneware,
lovely subtle designs.
And of course, a bit further left, looking at the map, you can find
Clive Bowen - really big pots!! I think he's in Shebbear.
These are all within a approx 10 mile radius of each other! I'm sure
I've missed loads, but hopefully that will give you a start in North
Devon!
Then of course there's Cornwall!........
A few of my favourites are: Wenford Bridge Pottery (Cardew)
Boscastle Pottery
etc etc.....
Again, there's just so many!
Enjoy!
