What a wonderful place the lucky people of Cirencester and visitors have here. Our first time visit here, and in the main gallery you find an impressive collection of artisan pottery, jewelry and more. Resident artists, another gallery plus a great upstairs cafe should make this a must visit . As a former hobby potter I was particularly interested in the large range of the studio pottery on display. The quality of designs, glazing techniques and inventiveness is superb. And yes, these wonderful items are for sale too, at reasonable and fair prices. Tactile objects to use, to display, cherish and even to gift or pass on. It's humbling to think of the many many hours, the passion, love and dedication needed to develop these skills.
These artisans work in their studios all over the country, and here they have a wonderful space and friendly knowledgeable staff to showcase their work. As far as I know this space and building is a charity going back to the 1970's. The founders must be proud that their vision is continuing to thrive in this beautiful market town. And we will be back again as well.
