Thirty spokes are united around the hub of a wheel, but the usefulness of the wheel depends on the space where nothing exists. Clay is moulded into a vessel, but the usefulness of the vessel depends on the space where nothing exists. Doors and windows are cut out of the walls of a house, and the usefulness of the house depends on the space where nothing exists. Therefore, take advantage of what exists, and use what does not exist.

What we make

To make our range of Stoneware pots we use the finest clays, fired to 1285o centigrade in a gas kiln. We also make and have developed our own glazes. Our pottery is ovenproof, dishwasher-proof and can be used in a microwave.
