About

At Aylesford Pottery, Alan Parris, and Mark Byles are producing fine pottery to suit all tastes. Everything is created by hand, combining traditional methods with the occasional modern twist at their Kent showroom based at the historic Aylesford Priory where you are welcome to come and see them at work.

Group visit of up to 12 people need to be booked to in advance to ensure that the potters are available and they can put-on a demonstration for visitors. This is free.

Workshops are available to have a go at making something then this can be booked in the teaching studio and the normal workshop prices would apply. There is a small additonal charge for firing/glazing which takes up to six weeks, so someone would need to collect the goods later.
