Hookshouse Pottery

Christopher White established Hookshouse Pottery in 1975 on a rural site off Hookshouse Lane, between Tetbury and Westonbirt, where hand-thrown stoneware is still made using traditional methods. The workshop produces garden pots in a range of sizes alongside domestic stoneware, thrown and fired on site rather than bought in for resale. Visitors can watch pots being made and buy directly from the workshop shop. The pottery's garden, developed around the kilns and workshop buildings over five decades, opens periodically for the National Garden Scheme and for pre-booked group visits. It remains a single working pottery rather than a retail outlet for pieces made elsewhere, run from the same rural site it was founded on nearly fifty years ago.
