Matt Waite Pottery Stowford Manor Farm, Wingfield, near Trowbridge, Wiltshire, BA14 9LH, United Kingdom
Matt Waite Pottery Description
After completing a degree in ceramics at Bristol, Matt worked for potteries in Bath and in the Hebrides throughout the 1990’s. In 2001 he set up a workshop at Stowford Manor Farm in Wiltshire, where he has continued to work since.
Matt throws with a Cornish stoneware clay and makes a range of tableware alongside individual and larger pieces. His pots are fired in an kiln, built in 2004, which takes up to 18 hours to reach the top temperature of 1300C. Flame in the kiln gives a warm ‘toasted’ finish to the clay.
The glazes, which are mostly Oriental in origin, include copper reds, iron rich tenmoku, shino, kaki, blue jun and a cream coloured chun. Other glazes make use of ‘found’ materials such as wood ash and local clays , which create the character and colour of the glaze. Matt is increasingly interested in developing more of these beautiful and exciting glazes.
