Thank you for visiting Beacons Pottery
I’m Jess, I started Beacons Pottery in 2022. I work from my studio on my farm in the heart of the Brecon Beacons, Wales. I make a range of functional and decorative ceramics. Each piece is handmade, meaning they all have their own individual characteristics and no two are the same.

Why not try it for yourself?
I offer a variety of pottery lessons, workshops and experiences.
GIFT VOUCHERS AVAILABLE!
I had a brilliant couple of hours with Jess. She was fun, instructive and patient. All in a stunning setting. And I finished up with actual bowls, beautifully glazed! Throwing pots with Jess is highly recommended.
I had a great time learning to throw a pot on the potters wheel. Jess is a great teacher and guided me through every step. Very pleased with the results.
We absolutely loved our pottery workshop. Jess and her mum were a great team, friendly and helpful and lovely to chat to whilst we crafted! We got to make 2 bowls each, a cylinder and a few decorations and it was a fab learning experience. Would definitely do it again!
A friend and I spent a morning with Jess having booked on a Pottery Experience workshop.
Jess is an excellent teacher with a lot of patience. The studio is in a beautiful setting with wonderful views which added to the experience.
To my surprise, I also managed to make a bowl and a pot!
Great fun to learn to throw clay, and have some decent bowls to show for it! The lesson was very practical, lots of opportunity to practice and the setting is a beautiful corner of Powys. Great find!
Bought the experience as a birthday present for my sister, we both had an amazing time and would highly recommend it to anyone who wants to give pottery a go.
Jess was very knowledgeable and very helpful and patient.
Making pottery, she said, we’ll have fun, she said, and she was right, we did! Going with my daughter to this beautifully situated studio at the base of Pen Y Fan was a pleasure in itself. Our host, Jess, gave us a warm welcome and then a demonstration on how to throw a bowl – our task for the afternoon. My daughter had first go while I watched, trying to learn from watching her as well as Jess and then it was my turn. I managed to make a bowl! It was a bit squished and bent over, but my daughter’s was much better. Throwing is much harder than it looks, but it was so interesting as well as such fun I would recommend it to anyone.
Excellent pottery tuition tonight. Thoroughly enjoyed the session. I made a vase, a bowl and some butterflies to hang up.
We attended the 2 person throwing experience it was excellent in every way. We will be back.
