About The Hillesley Potter
A bit about me
My Design Philosophy
My Design Philosophy
I’m Cindy, the creator behind The Hillesley Potter. Based in the Cotswold village of Hillesley, I create handmade pottery that blends beauty with practicality. Alongside my pottery, I run pottery classes and ceramic painting evenings (or afternoons), offering a welcoming space for anyone to discover or refine their creative skills.

My Design Philosophy
My design philosophy is centered around simplicity and functionality. I believe that ceramics should not only be beautiful, but also practical for everyday use.

My Classes
I also enjoy sharing my love of ceramics with others, whether it's through a taster class or a more in-depth course. Pottery is about connection — to the material, the process, and each other.
