When I visited in September 2008, Lead Potter Jack Doherty told me that a new range of standard ware is to be produced by two young potters who have recently joined the team. At first small items such as mugs will be made and hopefully in the course of time a range of wares.

Hopefully these images along with those taken back in April will entice you to make your own pilgrimage back to where the British Studio pottery movement started way back in the 1920s.
