Since 1975 (45 years ago) I have been spending time learning my craft (part-time) at colleges and with potters in Essex, Lincoln, Newark and Denbigh, whilst maintaining a career in agricultural and horticultural plant breeding.

I retired from plant breeding in 2014 at the age of 60 with a very long held ambition to have a second career as a potter. My pottery was restored and equipped by the end of 2015 in an old building in our garden, and commercial production started with stoneware & porcelain vessels glaze fired in reduction. I then joined the pottery fair circuit and had a great time so far. Open Days however are always a highlight of our year. I am currently chair of the Craft Potters Association (CPA).

PETER SNOWDEN’S STUDIO

The pottery sits in a mature garden which is open to visitors while the pottery is open.
