Cotswold Pottery
Small family-run studio
Clapton Row, Bourton-on-the-Water, GL54 2DN.
The home and studio of local ceramic artists
The Cotswold Pottery is the home and studio of ceramic artists John and Jude Jelfs. Everything we sell is hand made at our studio in Bourton-on-the-Water in Gloucestershire.
John Jelfs’ work is mainly wheel thrown. It ranges from his individual studio pots to kitchenware and teapots. Several different kilns are used – a stoneware gas kiln, a soda kiln for vapour firing as well as a large wood-fired kiln located nearby.
Jude Jelfs makes hand-built ceramics. Her work is mainly figurative in earthenware, porcelain, stoneware with some soda-fired pieces. Jude also makes figurative sculpture in bronze. The Pottery shop is open all the year. We are open most days from 10.30 – 5pm. Visitors to the shop are always welcome. We regret that due to the small size of our working area, the studio is NOT open to the public.
