Millbrook Pottery is made by Peter Curtis

I began making pottery more than 45 years ago. Originally self taught I was fortunate enough to be mentored for several years by the late Sid Tustin, of Winchcombe Pottery. Sid used to visit me at my studio in Dawlish, Devon I owe much to Sid, who mentored me through my early years as a potter, he taught me a great deal.

I now work from my garden studio in Beckenham, Kent. The majority of my work is hand thrown using white stoneware clay. I enjoy enhancing my work in various ways including incising, mark making, cutting, twisting and adding clay. I decorate my pottery with a mixture of commercial and handmade glazes and I sell my work at exhibitions, craft fairs and online

Before becoming a potter I was a principal dancer with Ballet Rambert, that period of my life has always been a source of inspiration for many of the designs of my pots, along with my love of flora and fauna.

My pottery has been exported to many countries around the world and has been sold at Bonham’s contemporary ceramics auctions.
