Stay Home and Keep Creating

Many hobbyist potters have enjoyed the extra time to be creative over the past 12 months. Using the opportunities the past year has presented to spend more time doing what they love at home. The Great Pottery Throwdown has also catapulted the popularity of the hobby, showing just how accessible it is. That creating bespoke and personalised pieces yourself is great fun for everyone!

We’re continuing to encourage our community to stay at home and keep creating. Using this opportunity to be creative, until the country returns to normal.

Many potters around the UK have found completing their makes at home easier and cheaper. Rather than using others’ equipment.

Here are a few reasons to invest in your own kiln–

• Investing in a kiln now will save you money over time.
• Having your own equipment also means you are not restricted to times of classes & durations.
• Creating in your own space means you can create the workspace you like. Whether you have classic or heavy metal playing in the background.
• The portability of our kilns and wheels means you can move your equipment anywhere you wish (power source permitting).
• You can fill your kiln with your creations and aren’t limited to space (other than the size of the kiln).
• There are no restrictions on what you can make, you can be as creative as you want!
• This kiln will be your own, meaning you are the only one touching handles and are in control of its usage.
• Our most popular hobbyist kilns are the Hawk and Phoenix, both of which are 13 amp, and are perfect for at-home usage.
• Our CU range is also great for creating smaller pieces such as jewellery.
