Wot pots is a little pottery studio tucked away in an old wildlife park in Westbury on Trym. The studio was formally the gift shop of Westbury Wildlife Park which had closed in the late 1980's. The gift shop was rotting away and was in great disrepair until it was renovated in 2013 to be converted into a lovely little pottery haven. 
The studio is tucked away from the busy village of W-o-T and is set in a tranquil woodland environment. The perfect place to get away from it all and enjoy some pottery making!

The studio was set up by me, Jenny. Here I am on the wheel!
I studied ceramics at Bath Spa University, graduating in 2008 and I have worked with clay ever since! I absolutely love teaching pottery and have a passion to educate and inspire people through this amazing medium. 
Pottery is a craft that seems to be dying out of schools.
My understanding of this is because of the expense and heath and safety issues that come with running pottery classes. This is a real shame and sad that children and young adults aren't able to experience such a versatile craft. 
Because of this i have gained a real drive and passion to educate and pass on my knowledge and experience to others. 
During my own education i felt there was a strong push from the school to follow a more academic career path but i believe arts and crafts is just as important.
