ABOUT
Sarah Monk
I make small batch slipware in my Herefordshire studio at Eastnor Pottery, near Ledbury. Designs, include a unique selection of flower bricks 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 discover my work….
You can find me on the Find a Maker crafts directory curated by Craft Festival UK. Also, I’ve been a professional member of the Craft Potters Association UK since 1994 and can be found on their directory too.

You can find my work a Contemporary Ceramics, Bloomsbury, London where you can find my most recent designs. I’m re-stocking the Gallery in March 2026 too.
I’m guest exhibiting in two wonderful venues during March & April 2026… MAKE Southwest , Bovey Tracey and The Gloucestershire Guild , Cheltenham. Both long established and highly respected Craft Venues.
I’m really excited about both venues and it’s the perfect time to showcase some pieces in readiness for spring. I have been making flower bricks in various sizes, pouring bowls, espresso cups& butter dishes!
In the meantime, I’m busy making new designs for Craft Festival , Bovey Tracey, Devon from the 12th – 14th June 2026. I’m so chuffed to have been selected, it’s one of the largest and most prestigious craft gathering in the UK.

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.
