West House Pottery

cumbria

At West House & Co, we believe in creating opportunity through doing whether it’s making, growing, sharing or supporting.

We are a collective of social enterprises founded by West House, Cumbria’s leading care provider for people with learning disabilities. For over 30 years, West House has been building spaces where people feel valued, supported, and able to live life on their terms. That same mission runs through everything we do, from gardens to glazes, kitchens to cafés.

The story behind the business
Meet West House Pottery

Our not-for-profit ceramics studio is a place of quiet craft and creativity.

At West House Pottery, individuals are supported to learn traditional pottery techniques, from throwing and glazing to kiln firing and finishing, while building confidence and independence. Every mug, bowl and jug is shaped with care, designed to be used and loved every day. It’s not just about what we make, but who makes it, and the pride it brings.

Crafted entirely by hand, our ceramics are made in small batches at our ceramic studio by our talented makers. Each mug, bowl, plate or planter is unique, shaped with care, glazed with character, and made to be used and loved every day.

In our Workington pottery studio, creativity is at the centre of everything we do.

Our makers are supported to explore their own styles while learning traditional techniques, from hand-building to glazing and finishing.
