I and my friend Mave are both going to be 70 this year and we've decided to push off and cycle across Canada this summer, a distance of nearly 6000 miles...!  The pottery will remain open - but I wont be there!

Loch-an-Eilein Pottery
is a rural craft pottery which is
simply unique
reflecting Penny Weir’s spontaneous enjoyment of creating hand-thrown pottery that reflects the impressive surrounding landscapes.

Loch-an Eilein Pottery is a small rural craft pottery located on the road to Loch-an-Eilein, Rothiemurchus, one of the loveliest spots in the whole of the Spey Valley.

The pots are all hand thrown in red earthenware by Penny Weir. She specialises in jugs of all sizes from cream jugs to pitchers, and in large breakfast cups, teapots, mugs both large and small, storage jars and garden pots.

She glazes them in blue and green and in a rich turquoise, or in majolica, which is a white glaze with a blue design painted or sponged on. The results are spontaneous and simple and reflect Penny's enjoyment in handling the clay.
