PENNY SIMPSON

POTTER
Moretonhampstead

From her pottery studio in the artisan town of Moretonhampstead, Penny makes earthenware pots inspired by nature, with fish, birds and leaves recurring themes.

A keen foodie, Penny first love is creating pottery for cooking and dining such as mugs, jugs, bowls and plates. 

Penny says: "I started making pots whilst living in Japan and have always loved Japanese food and the attention given to food presentation. 

Much of Penny's decoration is incised through brushed-on layers of coloured slip, revealing the warm colour of the red clay underneath.  

Penny's pottery is available to buy from her shop, just below her studio.
