About Us

At Old Blue Pottery, we are driven by our passion for creating ceramics, that are not only functional but also beautiful and tactile…pieces that can be cherished for a lifetime.

Our unique partnership merges Harry’s expertise in throwing at the wheel with Lisa’s skill in hand building, honed through years of crafting bespoke ceramics for diverse projects.

This unconventional journey began when Harry, a self-proclaimed thrill-seeker with over forty years in the scaffolding industry, found solace in pottery, trading scaffold tubes for a potter’s wheel.

Now based at the foot of the Surrey Hills, our small workshop is inspired by the rich natural environment around us. While we once focussed primarily on vibrant glazes, today it is the textures, light and nature that influence our creations.

We take pride in our meticulous craftsmanship, valuing the character and warmth that each piece embodies. Our pottery is not about soulless perfection, rather, we believe in creating functional art that brings joy to everyday life.

Thank you for visiting our evolving journey!
