If you’ve ever longed to recreate the pottery scene in Ghost (or maybe you’re inspired by The Great British Throw Down?), now’s your chance. Already a buzzing online brand selling stunning independent pottery, Keeeps is opening a bricks-and-mortar store and studio on Marlow’s high street. We’re long-time lovers of its mission to help keep British pottery alive, so this news was absolute music to our ears!

What’s so exciting is that Keeeps isn’t just a pottery shop. Sure: it offers a curated clutch of artisan, British-made pottery, but it also boasts a fully kitted-out studio. So you can really get stuck in! (Hence: Ghost recreation, please and thank you.)

Need a little guidance? There’s a really great schedule of classes on offer here, catering for amateurs and masters alike and stretching from taster sessions to six week courses. Book online here. If you’ve got this whole pottery thing nailed, the shop offers studio memberships, so you can come in whenever to use the facilities (including glazes, tools, and kiln). Or, play it safe and start with a home pottery kit. That’s every option covered!

Established potter? Keeeps is keen to shine a particular light on local artists — it already stocks work by David Wright (Henley), Lily Carpenter (Henley), and Kate Garwood (Shiplake) — so if you’re interested in hosting classes or selling your work through the shop, just get in touch.
