Ceramics with Cliff Ellis
Cliff Ellis is a Devon based ceramicist working in his pottery studio at home. As well as teaching ceramics classes, he supplies our shop with a range of hand thrown, sometimes wood-fired, unique and rustic ceramic tableware. We spoke to Cliff about his journey into pottery and his thoughts on this heritage craft.
Make a donation.
Toby has spent a few years fundraising and collecting donations to build a replacement school in a village on the South West coast of Madagascar. The Vezo people who reside here had their previous school blow down the year before his visit, prompting his drive to collect the funds for a new school building. Three years into this push they have two new classroom buildings and three teachers. Your continued support helps to support the teachers and maintain the success of the school.
Give the Gift of Craft
The perfect present for the tricky-to-buy-for person that supports local and international craftspeople. Allow your friend or loved one to pick their own hand-crafted gift, lovingly pre paid for by you.
