Whitehaven Pottery

Whitehaven Pottery in Whitehaven, Cumbria, United Kingdom | Ceramics

Welcome to Whitehaven Pottery, United Kingdom. In 1990, concern in the Whitehaven parish church over the welfare of the young people of Copeland led to the conception of The Whitehaven Youth Trust. Discussions with Copeland Borough Council resulted in the possibility of the trust utilising the Market Hall, a Grade II listed building in a prominent site in the Town Centre which wasbadly in need of refurbishment. Copeland Borough Council refurbished the hall and after completion the first floor was leased to the Youth Trust.
The aims and objectives of the Trust were originally to educate and assist young people to develop their physical, mental and spiritual capabilities by providing a centre for meetings, lectures, training classes, advice, and counselling.The trust evolved and adapted to concentrate on securing training and jobs for unemployed young people in the area.
The Whitehaven Pottery was opened on the 16th December 2002 by Henry Saddon from Brontè Porcelain and BBCtv's Antique Roadshow.
The land that the pottery is situated on was the original site of an earlier pottery which unfortunately ceased manufacturing in the late 19th century.
Whitehaven Pottery is a new venture for the trust. From the outset we have established tremendous links with Brontè Porcelain from Worcester who are helping the Pottery with training, marketing and all commercial aspects of the Pottery industry.
The Pottery will provide employment and training opportunities for the local community.
We have a wide range of Pottery products and gifts to suit all budgets. These include hand thrown earthenware, fine china mugs, plates and figurines all of the finest quality- some of which can be personalised.
