Pottering in North Cumbria
Pottering in North Cumbria
Designed by Rae McNab, Val Donnelly, Margaret Archibald, Coralin Pearson and Vera Turnbull
Design inspiration
"The world of the traditional North Cumbrian craft potter is celebrated in a sinuous path of recycled kiln bricks, edged with free flowing and informal planting that brushes against the legs.
A palette of lush spring foliage softens the lean-to pottery while the potter's wheel, clay and drying pots are offset by random bursts of self-sown ferns and splashes of colour.
The potter rests upon a willowed seat, boot against a granite boulder, its colours reflecting a myriad of glazes. The results of the potter's labours lie around, stimulating quiet contemplation of the infinite compliment of their past and future."
