the little potter – Handthrown stoneware by Maria Murtagh

Handthrown stoneware by Maria Murtagh

Both Jim and myself would like to thank all the visitors who came to BEAT 2024 and bought some pieces or just enjoyed the display and chatting about the work. Both weekends were well attended and we were delighted to share our latest work with such a receptive audience. We are already planning and looking forward to BEAT 2025. It will be the 50th anniversary of the beginning of my journey in clay!

Moon Jars

I am hoping to spend this year focusing on refining the Moon Jars as they are a great joy to make and I feel that they are very special pots. I will also be revisiting the large handled platters as they provide good surfaces for me to continue my explorations in glazing. I will continue to make smaller pieces, including a range of mugs, vases, jugs and bowls of different sizes.

Now selling through local galleries

I am now selling my work through two galleries, Galleria on the Green in Chalfont St Giles and Mother Rugger, a beautiful new gallery just off Brentford High street in the new development.
