We're the faces and hands behind the pots. Since 2005 Jen has grown The Village Pottery into a thriving business while keeping all the charm and warmth of the small family-run venture it once began as. Along the way friends have joined Jen in making this dream grow.

The Story.

Jen's passion for pottery and creating with her hands shines through every piece she makes. Since studying at Cardiff, Jen has nurtured her love for hand-crafted objects and believes the story of the maker is in each piece created, giving it a soul and the ability to bring joy in their everyday use.

Developing over the years, Jen has grown The Village Pottery into an established business that now offers lessons, wedding lists, baby feet imprints, personalised commissions and designing bespoke tableware for Michelin star restaurants.

However, her love for sharing this process and the joy it brings to those who use her pottery still remains the focal point of what makes The Village Pottery.

The Team.

Over the years we’ve been lucky to have so many lovely people be a part of our team. We’re so grateful to everyone who has been with us - long or shorter term - and glad we can share the world of pottery with them.

The Farm.

Our studio is situated 10 minutes outside of Bristol.

This is where we work hard to create bespoke orders and the Village Pottery pieces that have been known and loved for over 17 years.

Since deciding to close the Clifton shop in January 2019 The Village Pottery has been brought together under the one roof. This has allowed us to spend more time making for the restaurants we supply.

Set on a farm, along with other creative businesses & makers, we enjoy being outside of the city with the deer wandering the fields.
