Made in the Malthouse
Lenham, Kent
Owen is the maker behind Made in the Malthouse, a pottery studio rooted in curiosity, craftsmanship, and a love of the unexpected.
Every piece Owen creates is handcrafted from beginning to end in his studio. From shaping the clay to mixing glazes and firing the kiln, each step is done by hand, making every item unique.
His work focuses on functional pottery with a twist — pieces designed to be used and enjoyed every day, but with an element of surprise in their form, texture, or glaze. Owen calls them “the unexpected pot”: familiar objects that reveal something a little different when you look twice.
The result is pottery that is practical, personal, and just a little bit playful — made to be part of everyday life.

The story behind the business
Meet Made in the Malthouse
What began as a hobby gradually grew into a passion that couldn’t stay part-time. Today, Owen is a professional potter who brings the same care, patience, and attention to detail to his ceramics as he has to his work as an NHS nurse for the past 25 years.
The alchemy of glaze chemistry particularly fascinates him. Experimenting with minerals, heat, and timing feels like a natural companion to the science he practices in healthcare — a blend of knowledge, precision, and a little bit of magic when the kiln is opened.
