Belated but very large thanks to luxury and boutique travel club Mr & Mrs Smith for naming Rye Pottery their “what to buy” if you visit Rye.

It’s an incredibly comprehensive write up by Kate Weir and really manages to suggest things that often only locals would know. Not least describing us as “straddling the line between style and whimsy”, which to all who know our work pretty much sums us up!

If you’re planning a trip you can read the full feature click here as it’s packed with ideas of where to stay, eat and what do while you’re in beautiful Rye.

We did consider making a film that was hours and hours long in a Stanislavski stylee but decided that would probably test even the most committed of our customers, unless they were looking for a sleeping aid.

So here is a speeded up version of how a simple ball of clay becomes one of our elegant Cottage Stripe Bowls.

Given Ferrari charge £15k for a stencil sprayed car badge, our stripey pots are a steal given the years of experience it takes to throw on a wheel like this, let alone learn to paint 14cm stripes freehand…

Critically the piece was highlighting what great venues the seven towns were all year round and not just in the warmer months. Alongside Rye, the other suggestions for a visit were Deal & Folkstone in Kent, Southend-on-Sea & Walton-on-the-Naze in Essex and Brighton, Hastings & Rye in Sussex.

We were thrilled to discover that a large collection of our Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales figures, designed by Biddy & Tarquin Cole, are currently on display at a major exhibition in Istanbul, Turkey.

Horsepower at the Rahmi M. Koç Museum, explores the relationship between people, horses and power across cultures – Celebrating twin loves at the heart of the collection that belongs to one of Turkey’s wealthiest citizens: Horses and cars!

Featuring art and antiquities from the 2nd century B.C. to the present, which have been collected and curated from across the globe to celebrate this esteemed museum’s 30th anniversary, the exhibition traces the role of horses in art and engineering and also contains an impressive number of vintage supercars amongst the work on display. 

We were proud to see a little piece of Rye Pottery storytelling celebrated on the world stage.  And even prouder to read reviews – “the most interesting showcase [were] the figures from The Canterbury Tales” and “Porcelain figures on horseback were amongst the most popular items”.

Proof, if you need it, that your Rye Pottery will be admired globally for generations to come.

The 6 month exhibition runs until June 10th. The Museum itself was inspired by the Henry Ford Museum in the US and is dedicated to the history of industry, transport and communications and you can find out more about it if you click here

Watch as the face on this Blue Rye Rabbit comes to life as it’s carefully hand-painted by one of our talented team.

We know it looks brown but after braving over 1000 degrees in our kiln it will actually be blue.
