Potter
Jayne Jenkins
After graduating in 1969 from
Cardiff College of Art having studied Ceramics, Alun Jenkins
returned to Ewenny to work with his father Thomas Arthur Jenkins
and Uncle, David Jenkins. Alun and his wife Jayne bought the
business when his uncle retired in 1976. A new workshop was
built on the site of one of the old kilns and Alun and Jayne have
continued to develop glazes and designs still maintaining the look
of Ewenny.
