We produce a wide range of stoneware and porcelain, from espresso cups (from 7) to good size dishes, and vases and art pieces, with plenty under 20. See some examples below. We look forward to welcoming you. Alongside our pottery we now sell the wonderful poetry of our collaborator, the makar Elizabeth Burns, part of whose legacy we hold.
The book of the collaboration, which includes the DVD of the full documentary, is available here. At The Meadows Pottery in Edinburgh's Southside (we are close to the Summerhall arts venue) we offer a wide range of the highest quality traditional pottery and contemporary ceramics in handthrown stoneware, with prices from 3 to over 1500.

Paul’s First 25 Years at the Meadows Pottery
Report
The exhibition marked Paul's first 25 years of making at The Meadows Pottery. I established The Meadows Pottery in Edinburgh in 1988. I produce diverse, hand thrown, stoneware and porcelain, making traditional pottery and art pieces. This has been virtually my sole outlet for the past twenty-five years, supplying a mainly local market.
Chiyoichi Shimizu, Japanese Master Potter@TMP
Report
He is an eighth generation potter from Tanbatachikui, the last pottery village in Tamba, one of the six Ancient Kilns of Japan which was studied by Daniel Rhodes in his 1970 publication, "Tamba Pottery". By chance a couple of students were soon to arrive for a lesson and Chiyoichi san was more than happy to go along with my request that he demonstrate on the wheel for us.
Holyrood Pottery 1917-1927
Report
The Scottish artist Henry Taylor Wyse (whose 150th anniversary is this year) ran the Holyrood Pottery at Boroughloch Square, not 200yds from us here at The Meadows Pottery. Holyrood Pottery was a rare and early example of a Scottish "art" pottery like our own: the first in an Edinburgh Southside tradition perhaps?
Our Kickwheel
Report
This Dave Cohen built kickwheel (@1978), made to a design by Paul Soldner was the only wheel we used for throwing until the early 1990s. Having taken a pounding for over thirty years it still spins with the vigour of youth. Over the years a few other wheels have come and gone, and even though we now have a couple of genuinely effective electric wheels, I'm sure the kickwheel will outlast them all.
Glazes
Report
We use many of our glazes in double-dipped combinations, with wax-resist decoration from stripes and spirals to free form brushwork. We also create hand painted lettering, figures and designs using any of our twenty or more coloured clay slips underneath the shiny transparent or the matt F.87 glaze.
