2018

Awarded the East Riding of Yorkshire Chairman’s award for Business (under 50 employees category)

Introduced in 2018 – A collection of ceramics, designed for a more contemporary look. Using a white clay which is thrown on the wheel close to a state of collapse, Gerry is transmitting a sense of movement to the finished pots. Fired in a white glaze, with an occasional splash of colour, the pots will enhance any home environment.

2017 -Celebrating 40 years as potters.

This year we celebrated 40 years at Fangfoss by holding a number of events, mostly free, to thank the community for their support we have received over those years.

Below are some examples of work we have done with students and children.

Vases and planters

Vases are a must to all those people who love to have fresh flowers enhancing their rooms. So why buy a vase from IKEA, which is made in China, in a mould, then distressed to make it look handmade, – when you can buy a real individual item from us for about the same price?

Moon Vases

Moon Jars were originally made during the Joseon Dynasty (1392-1910). They were curvaceous, plain white porcelain jars resembling a full moon. They were made customarily to contain flowers or wine, but they are also ritual, votive vessels.

Gerry has put his own interpretation to these ceramic pots. Each one is unique…

Pit Fired Pots

These pots are all unique. They have been fired in a pit using wood, sawdust and leaves. The colours come from the material which was wrapped around the pots before firing. Because of the low temperature reached, they are decorative objects only and are not waterproof.

Planters

Plant pot holders make useful presents for plant lovers….
