Handcrafted Ceramics from North Yorkshire

My name is Stuart Hillston.

I am a potter based in Bedale in North Yorkshire

I make pots inspired by the landscape of the dales, and the Yorkshire coastline.

I also make helmets in ceramics which look like they are made of metal.

And the rest of the time, I like to fire up a Raku kiln and make a lot of smoke (and some pots).

In October 2025 I will be at Potfest in the Pens in Penrith (17th to 19th October).
