Penny Pottery

Penny is a ceramic artist and student of the world renowned Falmouth College of Arts in Cornwall, United Kingdom. Penny grew up in a remote Cornish coastal village, on her "commute" to study her craft, she would board a Ferry each morning and cross one of the deepest estuaries in the world. The dark rolling waters and jagged Cornish coast providing a strong source of inspiration for her work. Many of Penny's pieces recreate the sea and the communities of Cornwall; fishing boats, harbours, granite stone manors, cottages precariously perched on the cliff tops. Each work is a view into her formative years, growing up in Cornwall. Penny started creating ceramic art in the 1990's. Only recently founding Penny Pottery in 2020. Her work can be found in galleries in Surrey & Cornwall and, of course, right here. All designs are completely unique, one of a kind, produced in very low volume. Items are hand stamped with the PJH Penny Pottery "pot" logo. Items are listed on a "record of provenance"(available on her website) in order to provide history and help protect buyer investment. Nothing is created from molds or templates which mean blemishes from the artists hands provide charm. The artworks are crafted with high quality clay and glazes and fired in the artists own kiln in a workshop at the bottom of her garden. The kiln is electric, powered by a renewable energy provider. In a world dominated by mass produced items, it is refreshing and exciting to own a hand crafted item, knowing that it has been created by an artist and is uniquely yours. Art for you to enjoy and pass down through generations.
