The Old Forge pottery workshop


Three potters are exhibiting at The Old Forge in Newland Street during Oxfordshire Artweeks - on Saturday, May 10th & Sunday, May 11th - and on Saturday, May 17th & Sunday, May 18th - 12pm to 6pm on each day. They are Malcolm Moor, Anthony Abrahams, and Lucy Smith.
The Old Forge Pottery in Newland Street is a shared workshop making both wheel-thrown and hand-built pottery. The results are available for sale (if they pass Quality Control of course). It was started by Sue Raikes and Adrian Moyes in August 2006.

The workshop is not a shop; there are small window displays, with phone numbers if you want to buy.

Theyare moving slowly, step-by-step. When things are established and running smoothly, they will be looking for more Sharers. Eventually, they hope it will be possible to arrange some teaching in the workshop.

If you are interested in joining in as a Sharer, or, in the longer term, joining a small class . Click here for more on the pottery and its Sharers.
