Lansdown Pottery Lansdown Pottery is an exciting community craft workshop in the center of Stroud, Gloucestershire. It opened in its present home in 1999, sharing the former Victorian Art School with a number of other artistic and educational organisations. The renamed Lansdown Pottery was initially established in 1981 at William Morris House, a Camphill Community, in Eastington. It had been a part of a group of craft workshops dedicated to providing further education and training in a creative environment for young adults with Learning Difficulties. There is a small group of potters working at Lansdown Pottery, developing their own work, each with their own quite individual styles and approaches. Their day is divided between production and teaching. On moving to Stroud we felt that it was important to continue the educational and training aspect of our work, working with the local community, in a much wider way.So we have classes for the public, give education and training to local colleges and schools, provide training for people with learning difficulties and offer workshop facilities for local craftspeople. For details of pottery courses please contact Made In Gloucestershire shop are currently collecting names to see if one is viable. We also felt that it was equally important to have a working pottery that produced commercially with a display of attractive items. John and Penny West from Landsdown pottery supply this shop and also have a stall at the Farmers Market in Stroud.
The range available at Made In Stroud: Ocean Blue This beautiful glaze contains all the colours you would expect to find in the sea. It is our most popular range of tableware. Bamboo Available for dinner sets and other items for the kitchen, Glazed in a Korean celedon with a gentle transparent jade quality. Each piece is hand painted in a Japanese style with slips. Burnt Sienna Inspired by the wood fired pottery of France. The insides of the bowls, cups and plates is lined with quiet celedon with the 'Burnt Sienna' texture on the rims and outside of each piece.
