Derwent Valley Clay - We handcrafted this pot using local clay sourced directly from the Derwent Valley. This material is the historic Mercia Mudstone, or "Keuper Marl," a Triassic deposit formed over 200 million years ago whose iconic red-brown hue is derived from oxidised iron minerals. While this resilient mudstone famously earned Derby its reputation as a "brick city," we transform this local raw material into refined, individual works of art, ensuring that every pot possesses its own distinct character, size, and tonal variation.
