Welcome to Parsons Pottery.  

Parsons Pottery is  located at Quinceborough Farm,  Widemouth Bay, Bude, Cornwall.

This is where John and Phoebe create our marbled porcelain by the processes of Neriage and Nerikomi. They each bring their love of throwing and their own style to our pottery, feeding off each other’s enthusiasm and creativeness to experiment with colour and shape,  mixing traditional shape and techniques with the freshness of youth and modern forms. 

Along with creating our own work we seek to inspire people of all ages and abilities to enjoy the craft of Pottery.   

We run a variety of  sessions at our workshop from throwing on the potters wheel to pottery painting.  Come and relax in our recently refurbished studio in an idyllic farmyard setting just a few miles from Bude.
