We are continually upgrading our technical details and introducing
new products. We are now working on some reactive glazes having
just introduced a new titanium blue glaze.
Some
recent editions are coffee tables with inlaid clay tiles
(shown
left). We have also produced a bowl (shown right) which is made
into a sink or washing basin which can be used standalone or inset
into a unit. Details of both these products are available on request
and either can be made to your individual specifications.
In
conjunction with Oxfordshire County
Council, we have brown tourism signs on all of the main approach
roads. Visitors can easily find their way to the pottery
from further a field.

Hook
Norton Pottery is owned and run by Russell Collins.
Russell
studied at Harrow Art School and has worked with renowned
potters such as Norah Bradon, Mick Casson, Colin Pearson and David
Leach.
Russell has been producing hand-thrown pots at Hook Norton Pottery
since establishing his workshop in 1969. During that time his
work has established both a national and international reputation.
The
pottery is situated on the edge of England's beautiful Cotswolds
and is housed in specially converted farm buildings dating back
to the 17th Century.
A team of potters participate in all stages of production which
includes throwing on a traditional potters wheel, decorating, and
glazing the pots as well as kiln firing.
Finished work can be seen in the gallery which is open all year
round. Visitors are welcome to look around both here and in the
workshop.
