The Old Forge pottery workshop

Artweek Exhibition, May 2010

Old Forge potters will be exhibiting their work in Oxfordshire Artweeks in the last week of May (May 22nd-31st). The Show will be at the pottery - Artweeks brochure No 441, p99. The pottery will be open 11-6pm on Sat/Sum, May 22/23 and als Sat/Sun/Mon, May 29/30/31.
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, and occasional Exhibitions, Open Days and sales.

  • Currently there are ten sharing potters (click here for details), plus some occasional users. 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.
