Maker's bio

I started work as a hydrographic surveyor following a degree in marine geology. Whilst it might be a bit of a leap from dredging up clay to using it on a potter’s wheel, the influence of the marine environment is evident in my work. I use coloured liquid clay (slip) which provides a fantastic fluid palette for me to explore geological and marine geomorphology patterns. A member of both the Midlands and, Westcountry Potters Associations I run market stalls across Worcestershire and beyond.

"We really enjoyed the lesson with Chris!! He was a great teacher, very patient and thorough. Can’t wait to pick up our bowls! We hope to do more!!"

Chris Greening Pottery responded:

"Hi Robyn, Lovely to meet you and Charlotte yesterday and really pleased you enjoyed the session; you made and decorated some lovely pots. These are now drying nicely on the shelves and should be with you in a few weeks time; I'll be in contact to let you know when they are ready to collect. Best wishes, Chris."

Sarah Blakemore reviewed: Pottery Throwing (Group Discounts Available) Lessons in Worcester

"My daughter and I had a fabulous morning. Although neither of us had any experience whatsoever we were really pleased with the results. Chris is a knowledgeable and patient teacher and made us feel really welcome. Would definitely recommend. 😊"

Chris Greening Pottery responded:

"Many thanks for the positive review Sarah - it's always nice to allay someone's fears that all they are going to end up with at the end of the session is a flopped mass of mush! Your pots are lovely! They're now drying nicely on the shelves and should be with you in a few weeks time. Best wishes, Chris."

Jenny C reviewed: Pottery Throwing (Group Discounts Available) Lessons in Worcester

"Sign up now! We had a thoroughly brilliant evening throwing two pots each with Chris in his studio. Chris is a clear, gentle and encouraging teacher and under his tuition we were both delighted with the results of our endeavours, which will be posted on to us after firing."

Chris Greening Pottery responded:

"Many thanks for such a lovely positive review Jenny. It was a very good session - some lovely pots made and thrown with "vigour"!! They are now drying nicely on the shelf and should be with you in 3-4 weeks time. Best wishes, Chris."

"A really fun experience and a memorable day! Chris was brilliant at teaching us (from scratch!) and being very patient with all our questions and inexperience. A fantastic, well run course. Can’t wait to see our final pottery pieces in a few weeks 😊 "
