Coastal and Moorland Pottery

Handmade in Devon.

New Collection

Hello I’m Leela, the artist behind the pottery.
Rooted in the wild beauty of Devon, from moorlands and rolling hills to rugged coastlines, my pottery blends contemporary design with ancient influence.
Each piece is handmade using glazes I formulate from scratch and fire in electric, gas, or wood kilns.
I often incorporate wild clay, gathered in small, sustainable quantities from local deposits, grounding my work in the very landscape that inspires it.
Environmental responsibility is central to my practice: I minimise waste, fire efficiently, and package without plastic unless it’s being reused.
My work is a celebration of nature, process, and the timeless beauty of handmade craft.
