There is a team of 3 potters making a range of hand-thrown, wood-fired stoneware alongside signed individual pots which are sold in the showroom. The visitor will usually see various methods of production from throwing, turning, handling, glazing, to firing the kiln, according to the schedule of work. The pottery is set on the Somerset Levels in the ancient parish of Muchelney, which is well-known for its 10thC Benedictine abbey. Prior phone call is necessary to arrange a work shop visit.
