Kate has a fun light hearted approach to her work and gets much of her inspiration from 'all creatures great and small'. There are a wide range of novelty ceramic gifts.
Kate began Pottery by Design attending craft fairs and events and gradually the demand from shops and galleries grew so much that this is where the business is now concentrated. Kate attends a few events at Christmas (more details in the events section) and enjoys getting to meet customers and receive first hand feedback.
The website has been launched due to demand, and although not all the products are listed yet, we hope you enjoy looking around.
