The Pottery is open Mon-Sat 9.00am -5.00pm. Visitors are welcome to look around the showroom, view the ceramics for sale and have a tour of the workshop.
Bentham Pottery: Pottery Courses
Pottery courses are run all year round. We specialise in teaching throwing pots on a wheel, as well as slab pottery, slip decorating and press moulding. Short pottery courses can be arranged for children (these make great birthday parties). Pottery team building / corporate days can be arranged. Accommodation for a ceramics course can be provided in our self catering holiday cottages at Bentham Pottery. These also make a good base for visiting North Yorkshire, Yorkshire Dales and the Lake District.
In addition to selling through the showroom, a number of Craft Fairs and specialised Ceramic Events are attended throughout the year. Bentham Pottery also sells wholesale to various craft/art shops.
