ABOUT

Sarah Monk

I make small batch slipware in my Herefordshire studio at Eastnor Pottery, near Ledbury. Designs, include a unique selection of flower bricks and kitchen wares. My approach to potting is relaxed and playful, every piece is treated with an excitement and love of clay

Cups and bowls are wheel thrown, I slab build flower bricks and press-mould plates. Slips and colourful underglazes are brushed and splattered. Sgraffito designs are freely etched into the clay, making pieces pleasingly tactile. All creating happens at the wet clay stage and I finish every piece with a simple lead-free glaze. Little pieces of art for your home, to use and cherish.

Directories…

You can find me on the Find a Maker crafts directory curated by Craft Festival UK.  Also, I’ve been a professional member of the Craft Potters Association UK since 1994 and can be found on their directory too.

Where to purchase my work….

You can find my work at  Contemporary Ceramics, Bloomsbury, London. I re-stock the Gallery on average two times a year.

Plus you can find a vibrant selection of my dotty flower bricks in various sizes and colours at The Gallery at Waterperry Gardens. throughout this summer 2026

I exhibited in two wonderful venues during March & April 2026… MAKE Southwest , Bovey Tracey and The Gloucestershire Guild , Cheltenham. Both long established and highly respected Craft Venues.

In June took part in Craft Festival , Bovey Tracey, Devon. I was chuffed to have been selected, it’s one of the largest and most prestigious craft gatherings in the UK.

And as always, our studio at Eastnor Pottery  which is open from Tuesday – Saturdays,  10 ’till 4 all year round.

On another note….
