About

Welcome. I’m Jonathan Gartland, and I make handmade studio pottery from my home workshop in Sidmouth.My focus is on honest, functional pottery with colourful glazes that will be used and enjoyed in the home.I care about making clay accessible for all. Clay as a medium is grounding, it is tactile and calming.I sell locally, take commissions, and welcome enquiries from shops. Please get in touch if you are interested in stocking my pottery or commissioning a piece.

Pottery classes

If you have ever wanted to try clay yourself and perhaps find bigger classes overwhelming, I teach relaxed one-to-one wheel lessons in an unhurried atmosphere.

"Jon is a really good teacher, I've enjoyed learning from him and am really proud of my pots"
- Katie M"I would highly recommend Jonny, he actually gives you hands on experience without taking over, he's a patient teacher who's great at explaining the different techniques. The garage studio is a hidden gem for anyone keen to have fun and learn how to use a pottery wheel. I look forward to returning soon to expand my skills from pots tp mugs"
