About Linton Pottery

Linton Pottery is owned and run by Emma Kiernan, who produces unique, handcrafted clay, functional stoneware, which is glazed and then kiln fired.  This is all made from a small home pottery studio, based in the beautiful village of Linton, Cambridge.

Welcome to Linton Pottery.

Emma x 

My hobby and love for ceramics has been something that I have thoroughly enjoyed around my normal career as a palliative care nurse. It means, I can ensure a consistent good work, life balance, and it gives me a sanctuary to develop my creative skills with the clay.  It has also led me to start my own small business, in something from which I get so much pleasure. 

I work from my home studio and hand throw all of the clay I use on my potter's wheel. Once handcrafted, it is then bisque fired to 950ºC, glaze is then applied, and the pieces kiln fired again up to 1250ºC. 

I love combining glazes and creating unique designs which transform the stoneware into individual pieces of work.  Opening the kiln after each firing is a truly magical experience, and I never really know what exciting new colour creations I will find. Each item is totally unique.  The majority of my pottery is made to be functional and for everyday use.  All of my stoneware pottery is safe to use in the dishwasher, oven and microwave (with exception to the sets of recycled glass coasters) and is also frost proof.  The Photo Gallery below shows just some of the various items of stoneware that I have created.  I hope you like them?

It is also possible to arrange a visit to the studio, where more items are on display. Just call or email to make an appointment.
