pottery box

Angelique and William are both highly qualified with over twenty years experience in their trades of ceramics sculpture and metal work, with many of those years teaching others . Pottery box was created from the vision they have always had of being able to share their skills with others so people can learn how to find their own inspiration and create for themselves. All this is achieved in tranquil and beautiful surroundings. Animal encounters evolved when children came to the pottery, who where struggling with learning difficulties, we would find they loved to see the animals while they where visiting and benefitted from the experience greatly.  Realising Just how great the combination of the two can relax you and reduce anxiety.

coombe farm studios

Coombe is a small-scale rural centre, dedicated to growing creativity. It’s a place where you can develop new skills, supported by a beautiful environment, great food & people who actively enable the creative process. It’s also a place to make and show work, connect with nature and get inspired. We opened in 1983, it was one of the first small artist-led centres offering week-long creative courses. Since then, over the past 35 years, we are lucky to have developed an amazing network of people from all over the world. Our core activity is a mix of tutored art retreats that run year-round, bespoke projects for the creative community and showcasing new work on and off site. We celebrate difference, enjoy the messy ways of the creative process, celebrating the tricky bits, sharing in the successes and frustrations, encouraging others to explore and share the process of making. We are interested in cultivating wisdom, courage and wonder, and we believe in action. We collaborate and look for synergies with others, to ensure that we, as well as the people we work with, aren’t burnt out, bored, disillusioned or skint, but rather nourished, inspired, committed, passionate, and working within resource limits. Our small-scale allows us to be attentive to the simple things we believe make a great place to create, learn and research – skills-based tuition from passionate professions, a relaxed atmosphere, a beautiful environment, delicious food and great company.
