Barton Pottery is a family run pottery workshop and showroom set in beautiful Devon countryside.

  Colin Horne who is "Mr Barton pottery" first found his interest in ceramics whilst living in Bucks in the early 1980's, when he decided to join an evening class, just as a hobby!

   It quickly turned into more of a passion than a pastime. As the interest in the commissions and gifts he created for his family and friends grew, Colin soon found he began to get many orders!

  Following their move to Devon in 1990, Colin & Diane's new home, a suitably apt 450 year old farmhouse, gave life to Barton Pottery. A small workshop appeared, and as Colin set to work this very soon incorporated his very first showroom.

  These days the operation although still small & friendly has grown. The workshop houses an Industrial sized kiln and is now big enough to hold the weekend courses they have embarked on. The showroom also has doubled in size and displays many beautiful hand crafted items for sale.

  Colin is an experienced Pottery teacher, for all stages, beginners & improvers.
