Handmade Stoneware Ceramics

Welcome to Footprint Pottery

Handmade ceramic mugs, bowls and homeware made in small batches in a Yorkshire studio. Each piece is wheel thrown, glazed by hand and fired in the kiln before becoming part of the collection.

Designed to be used every day.

Made by hand in a Yorkshire studio

Footprint Pottery is a small studio where each piece is made from start to finish. Clay is shaped on the pottery wheel, left to dry slowly and then fired before being glazed and returned to the kiln.

Working in small batches allows each piece to develop its own character while remaining durable and practical for everyday use.

Latest kiln opening

A small batch of new pieces has just come out of the kiln. Each firing produces only a handful of bowls, mugs and serving pieces, with glazes that develop slightly differently every time.Once these pieces are gone, they’re rarely repeated in exactly the same way.

Which mug style will you choose?

After experimenting with many forms in the studio, four mug shapes have become favourites. Each one is designed to feel comfortable to hold while still reflecting the character of wheel thrown pottery.

Hear from our customers

  • "I love that these pieces are handmade, the craftsmanship is exceptional. I'd highly recommend Footprint Pottery to anyone looking for unique handmade pieces to keep or give as meaningful gifts."

  • "I bought a mug for my husband’s birthday, and he absolutely loves it! The craftsmanship is incredible, beautifully shaped, with a rich glaze. It’s sturdy yet elegant, and the handle is comfortable to hold, making it his new go-to for morning coffee."

  • "I couldn’t be happier with these handmade pottery tea lights. Each one is beautifully crafted. You can really see the love and artistry that went into making them, far beyond anything mass-produced. I’ll definitely be adding more to my collection!"

Made in small batches

The pottery is produced in small runs throughout the year rather than large production cycles. Often there are only a few pieces of each glaze and shape available at a time.

Once a particular combination has sold out it may not return again, which keeps the collection evolving naturally.
