ABOUT

Sarah Monk

I make small batch slipware in my Herefordshire studio at Eastnor Pottery, near Ledbury. Designs, include a unique selection of bathroom and kitchen wares. My approach to potting is relaxed and playful, every piece is treated with an excitement and love of clay

Cups and bowls are wheel thrown, I slab build flower bricks and press-mould plates. Slips and colourful underglazes are brushed and splattered. Sgraffito designs are freely etched into the clay, making pieces pleasingly tactile. All creating happens at the wet clay stage and I finish every piece with a simple lead-free glaze. Little pieces of art for your home, to use and cherish.

Where to find me….

You can find me on the Find a Maker crafts directory curated by Craft Festival UK.  Also, I’ve been a selected professional member of the Craft Potters Association UK since 1994.

My work can be found at Contemporary Ceramics, Bloomsbury, London, and in their online shop. I’m re-stocking the Gallery in October 2025… I have some exciting new designs coming through!

I’m taking part in ‘The Printed Garden’ at The Gallery at Waterperry Gardens which opens on the 20th September 2025. I’m sending a collection of floral sgraffito work to compliment the print exhibition.

From the 6th – 14th September Eastnor Pottery will be taking part in Herefordshire Art Week, open studios. We’ll open every day from 10am ’til 5pm. 

On another note….

I collaborate with my husband and fellow potter Jon Williams to offer pottery experiences from Eastnor Pottery & The Flying Potter. Our creative short courses and workshops have been awarded ‘Experience of the Year Finalists’ from Visit Herefordshire.
