Stephen Llewellyn Pottery
Stephen Llewellyn Pottery has been potting professionally in Wallington for over 30 years and has made more than half a million pots during that time. His desire to eat and drink out of something made with his own hands led Stephen to produce his functional range of traditional stoneware. Having completed Stephen’s apprenticeship, he started his own pottery in 1977, building his own gas kiln and workshop.
Despite a setback when his kiln blew up and burnt down his workshop, Stephen has continued to strive to meet the increasing demand for local handmade pottery. He has also produced replicas of the medieval tiles that were found on the Merton Priory site, one particular design being a gargoyle apparently unique to Merton. Stephen is also actively involved in the work of Wandle Heritage.
