The Old Forge Pottery, originally established by Sue Raikes and Adrian Moyes, is a busy community pottery with twelve members. This is the first year that we have opened for Artweeks.

We each have our own unique style which means there will be a great variety of work on show. You will find wheel-thrown stoneware and porcelain, hand-built curios, sculptural and abstract pieces, glazed and/or hand painted: everything from tableware, mugs, bowls, jugs, teapots and tiles to Nerikomi ear rings and hand-modelled pets.

There is ample free parking by the Old Forge. You’ll be spoilt for choice between various coffee houses, cafes and pubs for refreshments.
