From a grandmother’s plant shop to Mabel Vickers
The space was once a plant shop run by my husband’s grandmother, and Mabel Vickers is named in her honour. Today, it’s a place for making, teaching and finding beautiful things.

In the Shop
Handmade ceramics and lovely, useful things for the home, for gifting and for everyday life.
A different kind of get-together.
Make something together and enjoy a few hours doing something a little different.
Private pottery workshops are a relaxed, hands on way to bring people together for birthdays, hens celebrations, team days, or simply a chance to catch up and do something together.
No pottery experience needed. Everything is provided, and everyone is guided through the process to make something of their own.
