We have started selling ceramic supplies in a big way since we have begun distributing in London for Potterycrafts.

Ceramicists have been flocking our way and we are organising our new Ceramics and Sculpture Supplies Department to accommodate the vast selection. We now stock an electric kiln and pottery wheel as well as clays, plasters, glazes and tools as regular stock. Some are in our London warehouse and some in our Gloucester warehouse as we are primarily set up for mail order. We can order in all the other Potterycrafts products as well, for delivery within two weeks.

At Jackson’s we support small businesses whenever we can. It is a good decision for a couple of reasons, one is that we can stock things that aren’t very common.
An example is this DVD:
Winchcombe Pottery Techniques : Master the Art of Learning to Throw

Winchcombe Pottery Techniques

Winchcombe Pottery Techniques

Here’s the story:
Winchcome Pottery was set up by Michael Cardew and sold to Ray Finch and Mike Finch who made Winchcome pottery what it is today by being consistent and in control of the clay.
You will learn how they do it or just enjoy watching, step by step. This DVD takes you through all of the techniques including kneading, Folding, Pugmills, Centering, secondary centering, throwing off the lump, egg cups, bowls, cyclinders, wedging, corrections, galleries and so much more.

Winchcombe Pottery was established in 1926, on the site of a pottery dating back to the early 1800 s making Winchcombe Pottery one of the longest running craft potteries in England. In 1939 Ray Finch took over Winchcombe Pottery from Michael Cardew.

* This 30 minute DVD has been used in pottery classes, schools, studios and homes around the world.
* Easily learn new skills and hone your existing method.
* First Class reviews in Ceramic and Pottery magazines.
* Watch and easily take a Master pottery lesson from an MBE pottery and master potters from this DVD.

Ray Finch was born in South London, 1914. In 1935 he studied at the Central School of Art under Dora Billington. He was accepted at Winchcombe Pottery in 1936 and took over the pottery in 1939. He purchased the pottery from Michael Cardew and began making wood-fired thrown domestic stoneware in 1959. He also makes individual stoneware and salt-glazed pieces. He is one of England s most respected potters and was awarded the MBE in 1980.

Review:
“This DVD is just like having a master potter right with you every step of the way” -Scott Atkin
