Woodfired, domestic, stoneware. All pottery
handthrown. Open: Easter-Oct 10am-5pm
Winter occasional (phone first).
The SPA was founded in 1974 and is a members’
run organisation aiming to promote all aspects
of ceramics (hand made pottery and ceramic
sculpture) and is open to anyone with an interest
in the subject. Linking Scotland’s geographically
remote potters it offers an informal source of
information and advice on everything connected
to clay. It aims to raise the standards and
awareness of the craft whenever possible.
This map was compiled by asking all the members
in early 2014 that have a workshop or shop open
to the public in Scotland to give us their opening
details. Please be aware that many potters work
on their own and sometimes have to close their
workshop at short notice, so it is always advisable
to call ahead and check opening times.
The SPA members enjoy a varied programme
of activities including a residential weekend
of demonstrations, workshops, newsletters
and e-bulletins. The SPA’s website
www.scottishpotters.org is the place for more
information about the SPA and how to join.
Fiona Duckett contact details number 49 on
the map will happily answer any queries.
