Ark Pottery
Wiggaton, Ottery St Mary
The Ark Pottery is a cottage industry set in the delightful village of Wiggaton. Run by Vaughan and Angela Glanville from a Devon longhouse dairy building you can enjoy a whole range of unique pottery and ceramics.
Vaughan and Angela have many years of experience in ceramics making some really unusual and visually stunning pieces. The Ark Pottery has their studio and gallery and is open to the public. Watch Vaughan throwing pots on a traditional potter's wheel. Angela designs and makes ceramics and animal figures.
Being a small, cottage industry they really care about their visitors. They always have time to talk to you and are happy to take commissions for individual pieces. My daughter has had several vases made especially for her and has always been extremely pleased with the results.
In the Gallery at Ark Pottery you can see interesting displays and exhibitions of work by Vaughan and Angela and occasionally from other local ceramic artists. The pieces that you see here are 'one off' designs and are not available anywhere else.
Why not stay and enjoy a cup of tea while you're there. There is a beautiful garden when the weather is fine. You can imagine yourself in a paradise as there is very little traffic passing and trees filled with singing birds surround you. If the weather is not fine enough to sit in the garden then tea and coffee can be served in the Gallery.
Open daily 10am - 5pm and other times by appointment.

Of course you may find that you enjoy the surroundings so much that you feel you could stay much longer. This too is possible and Angela offers bed and breakfast in the thatched cottage next to the Pottery and Gallery. Please use the contact details below for more information.
