Ewenny Pottery

We are a small country pottery that has been in the same family for eight generations. However, family folklore tells us that our ancestors have been throwing pots here since 1610, yet, the earliest manorial record of clay being used on this site is 1427. Our research is ongoing.

Our History


Ewenny Pottery is situated on the outskirts of the village Ewenny, near the town of Bridgend, South Wales. Records show there have been fifteen potteries in the Ewenny area at one time or another, all having been small family concerns, this was due to the materials being readily available, local red clay formed the pots, glaze materials to finish the wares, stone to build the kilns and coal to fire the pots. Now only two potteries remain, Ewenny and Claypits.
