Hand-thrown stoneware vessel in warm light

Made by hand.
One piece at a time.

Hand-thrown stoneware from a small studio in Cardiff. Vases, vessels, and tableware shaped on the wheel and fired in the kiln.

Potter working at the wheel in studio

Ffion Rhys

I’ve been throwing pots for seven years from my studio in Cardiff. The work is simple — stoneware clay, shaped on the wheel, glazed with materials I mix myself, and fired to 1280°C in a gas kiln.

Every piece carries the marks of the making: the spiral from the wheel, the slight asymmetry of a hand-pulled handle, the unpredictable depth of a wood-ash glaze. These aren’t flaws. They’re proof that a person made this.

The studio is where I do my best thinking. My husband Dylan handles everything else so I can stay on the wheel.

Something made only for you

A commission is a conversation. You tell me about the space, the feeling you want, the way the light falls. I take that to the wheel and make something that belongs there and nowhere else.

Every commission gets my undivided attention. I take one at a time so each piece gets the care it deserves.

Price range: £8,000 – £14,000

Timeline: 3–4 months from agreement

Process: Initial conversation → detailed brief → making → delivery
