Welcome
Rachel Lavender is a Warwickshire based potter known for her simple lines and soft, natural colours.
Her work is both functional and decorative and, as each piece is thrown and glazed by hand, every item is unique. Most of her work is commissioned and examples, along with prices, can be found in the gallery section.
Rachel first tried pottery in the early 90's and has been captivated by the potter's wheel ever since. Her work is made exclusively from stoneware clays which are fired very slowly to 1240 degrees centigrade in an electric kiln. Some pieces are re-fired several times to achieve the desired result. She works from her studio at home in Wellesbourne.
