Ewenny pottery is unique. We are a small pottery that has been run by one family for over eight
generations. It is living history and we have continued in its tradition of making beautiful hand thrown glazed
earthenware pottery for use in the home. We welcome visitors from near and far and we can be viewed practising our
craft in the workshop whilst the finished wares are available to purchase in our shop. Ewenny Pottery is
situated on the outskirts of the village Ewenny, near the town of Bridgend, South Wales. Records show the pottery industry
has existed in the area since 1427. This is due to the materials being readily available, local red clay formed the pots,
glaze materials to finish the wares, stone to build the kilns and coal to fire the pots. There have been fifteen potteries
in the Ewenny area at one time or another, all having been small family concerns and Ewenny pottery is believed
to have been established since 1610. Now only two potteries remain, Ewenny and Claypits
