About Linton Pottery

Linton Pottery is owned and run by Emma Kiernan, who produces unique, handcrafted clay 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.

My hobby and love for ceramics has led me to start my own small business. I work from my studio and hand throw all of the clay I use on my potters wheel. Once handcrafted, it is then kiln fired to 1250C. I enjoy 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 every day 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). The Gallery below shows just some of the various items of stoneware that I have created. I hope you like them?

Welcome to Linton Pottery.
