Meet the Artist

Hi! I'm April, owner and creator here at April Makes Pottery. I've always loved collecting functional ceramics and have been known to bring home a new plate or jug from each holiday abroad.

I found some evening classes local to me and started my first 8 week block in January 2023. After my first night, I went home so excited and immediately booked on to the next 8 week block. I finally bought my own tabletop wheel and an old secondhand kiln in December 2024 and April Makes Pottery was born!

I make small batch functional ceramic items for your home and kitchen in my small garage studio in Northamptonshire, all of which are dishwasher and microwave safe. I love colour and you'll see plenty of that in my pieces, along with some neutral basics as well.
