Interlude Ceramics

Mary first saw a pot being made at school when she was nine years old and knew from that day she wanted to make pots. She was lucky enough to attend Kirkby Stephen Grammar School and studied ceramics. She set up her own business in 1995 as well as working at Wetheriggs Pottery for five years.

In 1997 she began a degree course at Cumbria Institute of the Arts and gained a first class honors degree in 2000. She then set up Interlude Ceramics, a gallery and workshop at the Rheged Discovery Centre, Penrith.

During her time at Rheged she wrote her book ‘Thrown Pottery Techniques Revealed’ as well as setting a Guinness World Record for most pots thrown in an hour.

In June 2003 she moved her business to Wetheriggs Pottery where she now makes the traditional Wetheriggs Pottery along side her own extensive range of ceramics.

Mary used earthenware, stoneware and porcelain clays and a variety of firing temperatures to create her range of decorative bowls, vases as well as table wares.

Mary also undertakes commissions for presents for Weddings, Anniversaries and any other event that needs commemorating etc. All enquiries welcome.
