pottery, ceramics, stoneware, art and craft - Canterbury Pottery opposite Canterbury Cathedral

Description

Canterbury Pottery is owned and run by Richard Chapman, who has been throwing pots all his life. The pottery was established by Richard's mother, Betty Chapman after she graduated from the Royal College of Art and in 1963 Canterbury Pottery was opened.

Living in the idyllic Kentish countryside, Richard finds his inspiration for the flowing forms and colours of his pottery, in the surrounding fruit orchards, hop gardens and chalk downlands. Each piece is handmade and glazed, in some cases up to seven different glazes are applied, which together create Richard's unusual and distinctive style.

The beautiful, historic city of Canterbury is also a huge source of inspiration in Richard's work; as are the roman and anglo-saxon archaeological artefacts on display in the city's museums.
