Warwickshire Tourist Guide - Articles

Pottery has been around for at least 30,000 years, the earliest examples of which originate in Eastern Europe, China, Japan and the Russian Far East. The invention of the potter’s wheel in Mesopotamia around 8,000 years ago revolutionised pottery production opening the way for mass production.

Nowadays, outside the factory mass producers, there are a wealth of individual artisans producing everything from basic pots to hugely expensive works of art.

There are several pottery centres and galleries in and around Warwickshire, some of which simply sell pots but others are open for visitors to view the process, partake and participate in pottery making events, including children’s activities.
