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 individual soap dishes and flower bricks and press-mould plates. Slips and colourful underglazes are brushed and splattered. Sgraffito designs are freely etched into the clay, making the 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.
My new designs can be purchased through my online shop or by visiting my studio, which is open Tuesday to Saturday.

I have recently sent new work for winter 2024 which is currently in their online shop.

On another note….
As well as designing and making, 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 2024’ from Visit Herefordshire Tourism.
