Hatherleigh Pottery

Tel: 01837 810624
Located in a delightful and secluded cobbled courtyard off Market Street,
Hatherleigh Pottery is owned and run by Jane Payne
who has been a keen potter for more than 40 years. After retiring from teaching, she took a
four-year course in ceramics and subsequently bought the pottery. Jane specialises in
hand-thrown, practical domestic stoneware _ jugs, mugs, bowls, dishes and the like. Much of
her work is sgraffito decorated and her use of a wide range of glazes brings colour and
variety to her wares. All Jane's pottery is trade-marked with a small fish imprinted near
the base.
The light and airy showrooms at the Pottery also feature work by other craftspeople
such as Michael Taylor, a local potter who shows mugs, vases and casseroles in a style that
makes an interesting contrast with Jane's work. Also on display are Jane Ritchie's ranges of
shoulder bags and handbags, all delightfully designed and beautifully made in rich, colourful textiles;
and Gill Salway's original prints using a variety of techniques. The Pottery is open from Easter
to New Year, Monday to Saturday, from 10am-5pm.
