Isn't this gorgeous? Another one from Sue at @croy Isn't this gorgeous? Another one from Sue at @croydecoffee who has been enjoying Tuesday morning classes. As well as developing her throwing skills and turning some her favourite thrown pots into mugs, Sue has been playing with creating different textures, and the fabric-like folds in this slab pot are very effective, don’t you think? We are happy to be collaborating with Sue, for our Jubilee competition, with the chance for one of our lucky followers to win some of their lovely coffee, a @tarkapottery voucher and some gorgeous @hogwashsoap - check it out if you haven't already :) #tarkapottery #northdevon #croydecoffee #potteryclasses #texturedpottery #learnpottery #greattorrington #potterystudent #slabpot #potteryglaze #creativeclay #handbuildpottery #orangeglaze #showstopper #bideford #westwardho #appledore #barnstaple #stylishpottery #creativetherapy #springclasses #springtime #potterylove #potterystudio #northdevonlife #potteryexperiences #clayexperiences #imadethis #awesomepottery #greatpotterythrowdown
Tarka Pottery paid a visit to Halwill and Ashwater Tarka Pottery paid a visit to Halwill and Ashwater schools last week, they were at Shebbear today and will be visiting Bishops Tawton in June. The children are making their own Jubilee plate - these are a couple of samples made for ideas! How lovely it will be to have something to keep to commemorate 70 years of Queen Elizabeth II - they'll be ready to hang when fired. From Reception to Year 6, it's lovely to see what everybody makes and glazes, we'll show you very soon :) #tarkapottery #jubileeplates #HM70 #platinumjubilee #northdevon #queenscrown #claywithkids #potteryatschool #outreachproject #wallplaques #creativeclay #slabplate #glazingproject #queenelizabethii #er2 #workingwithchildren #teachingpottery #learningpottery #potteryforall #potteryforallages #shebbear #ashwater #halwill #greattorrington #potteryclass #potteryteacher

Lovely to have a visit from Northam WI last week. Lovely to have a visit from Northam WI last week. Jax had met these lovely ladies before Christmas, when she gave a demonstration of making a large coil pot, showing how to build and create texture, hand-rolling large coils. They were so fired-up and keen to come and have a try in the studio themselves so we booked them in for our Potter's Wheel Experience so that they could try their hand on the wheel, make hand modelled clay decorations and use some lovely texture tools to make shapes to add to their pots, before glazing using lots of bright and traditional colours. Looking forward to seeing these lovely pots fired!

How often does a customer make a lily pad in clay? How often does a customer make a lily pad in clay? Not very often and it’s been a while since someone has! Gorgeous slab creation made by a regular holiday visitor to @tarkapottery. @helendenslow15 always comes with a plan and this visit was no different. Helen made this to go in her daughters garden.

How tall can you go? Loading a kiln is a bit of a How tall can you go? Loading a kiln is a bit of a puzzle sometimes, especially when you have bone dry donut sculptures and more to squeeze in! Even though this is just a bisque firing there’s always a feeling of anticipation as you wait for the kiln to heat up slowly and then cool down. Looking forward to emptying this in two days’ time. #tarkapottery #claysculpture #bisquefiring #kilnloading #potteryclass #northdevon #greattorrington #bideford #stoneware #homedecor #ukceramics #westcountrypottersassociation #valerieandjohnceramics #jaxwilliamsceramics #donutlover #studiolife

Totem pole garden sculpture designs I explored dur Totem pole garden sculpture designs I explored during my week at @sandybrownarts a couple of months ago. I enjoyed exploring different textures and shapes - trying different ways to see how they would relate to each other snd the complete form. Very much work in progress which I’d love to scale up when time permits. @jaxwilliamsceramics #jaxwilliamsceramics #tarkapottery #crankclay #handbuiltceramics #northdevon #devonpixels #madeindevon #texturetuesday #ceramics #ceramicsculpture #gardeninspiration #homedecor #ceramicart #westcountrypotters #greattorrington #onegreattorrington
We're throwing back to a couple of weeks ago on Th We're throwing back to a couple of weeks ago on The Great Pottery Throwdown when the potter’s made beautiful animal lamps! They were great don’t you think? A year ago, the lovely Terry came to visit the studio for a pottery break and made this wonderful polar bear sculpture. We love the character in it’s pose and the way it’s wistfully looking off into the distance. We can’t wait to see what the potters make tonight! @potterythrow @madeindevonscheme @terrythetash @devonpixels #tarkapottery #potterythrowdown #greatpotterythrowdown2022 #animalsculpture #ceramicsculpture #animalsculptures #wildlifesculpture #northdevon #stonewarepottery #stonewareceramics #barnstaple #potteryclass #potterystudent #potterytutor #potteryworkshop #potteryexperience #clayexperience #ceramica #bideford #devonliving #madeindevon #devonpixels #potterysculpture #mixedmediaart #animalart #wildlifeart #polarbear #animallover #wildart #handmadesculpture
A bit of free play with glaze and oxides on stonew A bit of free play with glaze and oxides on stoneware plates. I made some of these during lockdown and have had them sitting in the studio crying out for attention. The time was finally right to apply glazes a few weeks ago, after I’d attended @sandybrownarts Creative Play course over 6 days in beautiful Appledore. That creative time allowed me to rekindle my love of experimenting with colour, painting freestyle splashes and making marks controlled only by where my hands want the colour to be applied. The plates were made using fabulous @hartleyandnoble moulds. #slabbuilt #creativeplay #makersgonnamake #potterystudio #handmadeuk #madeindevon #devonpixels #northdevon #westcountrypottersassociation #westcountrypotters #potteryteacher #ceramicsofinstagram #thisismylife
