"Making pottery is all I have ever wanted to do.  I remember looking over the stable door at Woburn Pottery and soaking up the atmosphere.  Seeing the tools hanging up, gently coated in a fine red film, waiting to be used.  The wheels humming quietly, whilst craftsmen gently coaxed the clay into a delightful form.  The serenity and reverence that I gained from this is still strongly felt.  It took forty years before I had the chance to learn to pot.  

I hope to inspire others to have a go and soak up the magical

world of clay.  If only for a few minutes."

Jacky creates functional pottery using the potters wheel and high fires in a

gas reduction atmosphere using glazes that are handmade using natural materials.  This results in unique colours, they may look similar but

will never be the same.

​

Her studio is a static caravan in the garden, with terrific views across the Amman valley and onto Betws mountains.  This year she has a brand new showroom for you to browse around whilst enjoying a slice of

handmade cake and a 'proper coffee' or tea.

​

Jacky gives lessons in how to throw on the wheel, with glazing and firing available for the more advanced pupils.  During the Open Studios week there will be a chance to 'have a go' on the wheel, make a tile or a Christmas decoration & watch demonstrations.
