There has been so much to post about recently with all the excitement over the centenary, that we haven't had a chance to introduce the newest member of the team, Scruff.
He has been adjusting to life in the workshop very well and, apart from supervising everything Flynn (Flynn PWC) does, he enjoys sleeping in his corner and having his ears tickled.

Welcome, Scruff.

We hope you can make it this Saturday 27th to our summer open day!

This was a lovely commission to work on - a two pint teapot with two large coffee cups, all decorated with a wheat shaft motif.
These pots are a nice example of how our little team works together to fulfil each order; the teapot was made by one potter, the cups by another and the set was decorated by a third. All in all they have come out beautifully.

A hello from the team.

When you see a Winchcombe Pottery pot, either here on social media, on our website or in our shop, this is where it came from.
The ethos at Winchcombe has always been about the whole, about a team and a mission, not about the individual makers. This was the vision of Michael Cardew and, in turn, Ray Finch.
We honour these values by continuing to work as a team, across all parts of the making process, as a single unit.

In this, its centenary year, the team at Winchcombe are (left to right) Flynn Paget Wall-Collins, Katrin Maier and George Melton.

As we work through the pots that came out of our firing last week, we're reflecting on the results and making plans for the next firing already. This small storage jar came out particularly nicely having had a good blasting of ash to one side.

We are looking ahead now to our open day on the 27th of this month and will share some details and a flyer here soon. We hope many of you will be able to join us here.

We've been doing some very warm and sweaty packing this week getting ready for Friday's firing. There have been kiln repairs, ice lollies, visits from friends new and old and even a birthday.
We have a day of cleaning and tidying tomorrow before hopefully cooler weather on Friday in time for the firing.

A reminder that you can see all the details for upcoming centenary related events in our bio.
