Neil Hotchin
I first started making pots when I signed up for an evening class at Sundragon Community Pottery in Balsall Heath. After a few frustrating sessions doing battle with uncooperative lumps of clay on a wheel something finally ‘clicked’ and I became hooked, eventually becoming a member of the pottery. I particularly enjoy wood-firing and have been lucky enough to help fire a number of different wood kilns across the UK.
