A Ceramic Studio and Retail Shop with a very wide variety of items, functional and decorative.

The Potter is a rural studio shop which showcases the work of Rudi Botha, an artist who has been shaping clay and fashioning it into an eclectic range of ceramics for more than 40 years. 

The Potter was established in 1981. Over the years it has grown into a full production studio and shop with kilns firing around the clock. The ware produced ranges from a wide variety of functional ceramics to decorative ware, handmade washbasins and exotic Moroccan pots. 

Individual and unusual orders are also accepted and part of production is exclusive to interior decorators and various shops.

This exciting studio shop has a distinct Mediterranean flavour and also sells olives, olive paste and pickled garlic etc, together with olive serving dishes and amazing olive spoons. It is certainly a delight to visit this creative hive, which is always adding new items to their quality ware.

Tagines, chicken roasters, breadpots, electric fragrance lamps and an exciting range of terra-cotta ware are to be discovered in this Alladin’s treasure trove. This is a working studio where the visitor can view  the decorating and making of the clayware.
