Claire Manwani Pottery
Handmade in Lowestoft
My work
Most of my work is functional in nature: items that have a use around the house or office and are not just decorative, although of course I hope they’re decorative too! Plates, mugs, cheese domes, vases - you name it, I’ll make it. My only limitations are the size of my kiln, so I can’t make anything wider than 26cm or taller than 30cm.
I work with Earthenware clay, which is ovenproof. All items are dishwasher and microwave proof too unless they have a metallic decoration.
My background
Originally from London and after spending 7 years in the Scottish Highlands, I’ve been based in Lowestoft, Suffolk since 2009.
Where you can find me
I travel to arts and crafts events at different venues – see the Calendar of Events page for full details.
If you see me out and about, please stop for a browse and a chat – hopefully you’ll see something you want to buy but if not, feel free to come back again because I’m making new stock all the time.
If there is anything special you want that you don’t see on my stall (or on this site), feel free to ask about having an item made to order. There’s no extra charge for this, but of course there would be a wait of a couple of weeks while the item is being made.
