Studio Ceramics & Tuition

Ashdown Pottery, set in the heart of Ashdown Forest, East Sussex, is the studio of ceramicists Anthea and Bill. In this beautiful setting they make and sell tableware, sculptural and large outdoor ceramics, take commissions, offer one-to-one tuition and lead small group workshops on throwing, hand-building, decorating and firing.
