Wolfscastle Pottery

Tenby

Wolfscastle Pottery is situated in the St. David's Peninsula, an unspoilt and beautiful corner of Wales. It has a mild sunny climate, spectacular coastal scenery. A profusion of wild flowers, wildlife, friendly people and a leisurely pace of life.

The Pottery opened in 1973, run by Madeleine and Philip who both trained at The Medway College of Design. Philip sadly died in 2015 and Madeleine has now been joined in the studio by Paul Webb. They make lively, strong, functional pots. Madeleine decorates most of the work with bold Chinese brush strokes using glazes ranging from deep copper reds and mauves to exciting blues and greens. she also loves handbuilding and produces large slab work. The clays used are stoneware and porcelain. All their work is fired by gas in a reduction atmosphere. 

Madeleine spent many years running residential courses for students from all over the world, but now has  opened up her studio to daily customers and holiday visitors to Pembrokeshire wanting to try their hand and be creative. You can throw your own pots on the wheel or model by hand with as much help as you need. When dry, paint them with bright glazes, or buy ours ready for painting. In the school holidays, work made by Thursday can be collected fired from early Saturday morning. A unique and lasting memento of your holiday and visit!
