About Us

Earth2ware is tucked away in a bright, welcoming studio in the heart of Callington. This is where all the pottery magic happens – from throwing mugss on the wheel to experimenting with new glaze blends and teaching classes to complete beginners and seasoned maers alike.

About the Studio

The studio is fully equipped with 4 pottery wheels, electric kiln and all the tools you need to get creative.  With small class sizes (maximum 9, but often 4-6 for a cosy feel), you’ll always get plenty of guidance, encouragement and space to explore your ideas.

Health and safety are top priorities here:  The kiln has its own separate room for safe firing; We use masks for sanding and grinding, and keeping things clean; There’s lots of natural light and fresh air, plus good cleaning practices.

Whether you’re dropping in for a one-off session, joining a 6-week course, or just picking up a new favourite mug, you’ll find the studio relaxed, supportive and full of creative energy.  Everyone is welcome – no experience needed, just a willingness to get your hands a bit muddy!

My Story

Hi, I’m Miranda, owner and potter here at Earth2Ware.

I’ve always been creative, but certainly never imagined I’d turn my creativity into my dream job. My husband and I took our youngest daughter to view Plymouth College of Art, with plans to sign her up to a course. We ended up signing myself, my husband, and my daughter up to courses!

I began my course in Contemporary Crafts, with ceramics as my main discipline and I’ve been addicted to it ever since.

It amazes me everyday what can be produced from a lump of clay, two hands and some love. From practical wares such as mugs to sculptural delights.

If I’m not behind the wheel myself, I’m guiding someone else who is. I absolutely love to share my passion for ceramics with others, and teach ages 3 and up.

I hired my first studio during my course due to lack of practice space at home. I soon began teaching classes, which led me to opening Earth2Ware.

These days you’lll find me in the studio- either at the wheel, glazing up a storm (I’m a bit obsessed with blue blends!), or guiding students through their first pinch pots and wobbly mugs.  I specialise in wheel-thrown stoneware and I’m passionate about bright, joyful glazes and making pottery that’s as practical as it is beautiful.

What makess Earth2ware unique? Honestly, it’s me! I keep things relaxed, personal and friendly. Whether you’re buying a mug or joining a class, you’ll get the encouragement, honest advice and a few laughs along the way.

If you’re curious about pottery, want to try a class, or just fancy a chat about clay, you’re always welcome.  Thanks for stopping by!

Our Mission

To bring pottery into as many lives as possible whether it be through making themselves, painting or purchasing hand made pottery from us. I believe there is space for it in everyone’s heart.
