  • Do you take custom orders ?

    Yes, I enjoy working on commissions and limited edition one-off pieces whether this is for an individual who has something specific in mind or exhibitions.

  • How do I initiate a commission ?

    To initiate a commission, contact me via email; karenatherleypots@gmail.com or ring me at my studio 01529 497630.

  • Are YOUR products made by you ?

    Originally a hand builder and a slip caster I am now working with bespoke thrown shapes that I design. All work is then individually hand decorated.

  • ARE YOUR PRODUCTS PRACTICAL ?

    My aim is to produce a decorative object that has a practical use as well as eye catching and good to look at. Therefore my work is food and dishwasher friendly.

  • How long will my order take ?

    Each piece is individually crafted which means in some cases, work may take up to twelve weeks for the product to be made from when the order is placed.

  • practical for everyday use

    Every piece of my work is thoughtfully designed and intricately hand crafted. I make my work to be used not just admired, meaning I design my ceramics to be practical for everyday use.

    My ceramics are made from white earthenware, a durable body for tableware ranging from mugs, bowls plates and vases.

    I glaze with a transparent glaze to give my work a lustrous finish. This process acts a waterproof coating, allowing food to be served and also washed up.
