Welcome

Hundred-Aker-Wood Pottery is a small, growing, dream-come-true run by David (myself) with help from my wife Cherry. We are based at Chickerell on the outskirts of Weymouth, overlooking the famous Chesil Beach within the Dorset and East Devon World Heritage site. We love the area, the views, the possibilities and most of all we love pottery.

I am aiming through my stoneware pottery to introduce items for sale that perhaps are not instantly or easily purchased. I have a fondness for the functional, so I am increasingly devising new items to make and bring to the ever demanding public. My bestseller so far has proved to be the Dorset Vertical Chicken Roaster. With my roaster you can cook chicken the healthy way, the tastiest way and the quicker way. You will be able to see a short video on the chicken roaster.

As you meander through the site you will be able to find out what thoughts I have on the pottery world, watch short clips of myself making my pottery, see where I will be selling this coming year, book a pottery demonstration for your local event or purchase a piece of Hundred-Aker-Wood pottery.

With my new portable electric wheel I will be travelling around this year making my pottery whilst selling at some of the forthcoming shows, fayres and festivals that I am attending. A full up to date list is on the events page of this website. I am also available to enhance your own event. If you would like a potter to demonstrate at your future event then please contact me to discuss details.
