Pottery Studio Rises from Denby's Ashes
24 Jun
Summary
- Three former Denby potters established a new studio.
- The new studio offers popular pottery courses.
- Denby Pottery ceased production after 217 years.
Fran Cutmore, Daizy Stevens, and Kate Lowe, formerly of Denby Pottery, have launched a new venture, The Potter's Nook, in Ripley. This follows the administration and cessation of production at the renowned ceramics business after 217 years earlier this month. The three potters expressed that opening their own studio felt "brilliant but bittersweet."
Despite the challenges, they have observed significant popularity in their pottery courses. Lowe highlighted the "huge demand" for such activities, emphasizing their value in a screen-dominated world. The founders are dedicated to maintaining their shared love for teaching and pottery, hoping their new studio will thrive.
