Handknitted Pottery

Handknitted Pottery is run by Hugh Penney in rural County Durham, halfway between the famous cathedral city of Durham and the wild landscape of Weardale.

Hugh’s pottery is intended to be used around the house – mugs, bowls, teacups, noodle bowls, teapots, salad bowls, and also make some purely decorative items. Most of Hugh’s pottery is thrown on a wheel, but he does make some handbuilt pottery at his workshop near Durham where he also runs pottery making classes.

Most of the work is in stoneware but Hugh does create pieces in porcelain, and also earthenware, especially for pieces with decals (ceramic transfers) on.

We had the most fantastic [wedding] day. The whole weekend was amazing. Everything went so very well. The food was amazing as always, the décor and the ambience was all perfect. All of our guests had a wonderful time and are still talking about it, especially those who stayed over. The staff were an absolute credit…polite, helpful, courteous and friendly, nothing was too much trouble. What a wonderful experience it was and we will never be able to thank you all enough.
