After a summer job at Appin Pottery in 1978 I was fortunate enough to be Apprenticed 1979-1984 to Joe Finch, proprietor of Appin Pottery including 6 months under Ray Finch M,B,E. (Joe's father) at Winchcombe Pottery (1980).
1984-1987 Worked as Joe's assistant for a year then he and his wife Trudi, decided to move to Wales, I managed Appin Pottery for him until they wanted to move to a larger place and so had to sell Appin to realise this. Rather than move to Wales myself I decided to set up on my own and so ended up just down the road in Barcaldine.
1988 to now- I set up Argyll Pottery employing two assistants, we have been known to take on the odd student part time for the summer months.
The ceramics we produce are mainly hand thrown on the wheel, including a full range of raw glazed, wood fired domestic ware and some more individual pieces. All the pots on display are made on the premises; most are thrown using our stoneware clay, some contemporary pieces are made from our porcelain body. The pots are fired to a temperature of 1300`C in our 65cf wood burning kiln. Argyll Pottery is situated by the southern shore of Loch Creran 8 miles north of Oban on the main (A828) Fort William road. Occasional exhibitions, some commission’s undertaken. For more details see website.
SHOWROOM OPEN - 10am-6pm Week days. - 2pm-5pm Saturdays.
ALL YEAR ROUND.
