Another glowing review for Vinegar Hill Pottery

Dave & Lucy Rogers at Vinegar Hill Pottery in Milford on Sea have received yet another five star review on TripAdvisor.

A recent review reads: Brilliant day learning how to make pots, plates and bowls at Vinegar Hill. Dave is knowledgeable, patient and seems to enjoy teaching absolute beginners how to create from clay. The lunch was excellent and the brownies in the morning delicious. Whole day was calm, relaxed and enjoyable. Thank you to everyone at Vinegar Hill for a memorable day.

Sounds like a fun day to me.

Dave & Lucy run one-day and long weekend pottery courses in the village, both are non residential for anyone living nearby, or residential using their B&B accommodation. They also have Gift Vouchers which make ideal presents all year round.

There are 9 places per pottery course meaning they can tailor the classes to suit your level of skill and creativity! The courses are all based on the potter's wheel – learning the basic techniques of throwing the perfect pot.

Dave also sells his large range of high-fired stoneware pots, cups, plates, platters and kitchenware which are all hand-made by him on the potters wheel. All are oven proof, dishwasher proof and microwavable. He is happy to take commissions if you would like something bespoke.

About Vinegar Hill Pottery

Vinegar Hill Pottery is a small family-owned pottery and bed and breakfast that's very much a family affair. Lucy Rogers oversees the management and day-to-day running of this delightful three-room accommodation. Dave is a master potter who runs his workshop from the premises and offers tuition to aspiring ceramic artists.

Both originate from Lymington in the New Forest. Dave spent his murky college years studying ceramics at Farnham College of Art and Design and working at Wrecclesham Pottery. He graduated in Ceramics 1997 and then started up on his own. He moved to Bristol in 1999 where he set up his own work spaces at The Botany Art Studios.

With a degree in all things Latin American from Bristol University, Lucy spent time living and studying in Latin America before settling in Bristol and working for ten years for a travel company that specialised in offbeat Latin America. Her job involved travel to small, remote and unique lodges and hotels throughout the continent. This fuelled her passion for travel and gave her the experiences and know-how of what does and doesn’t work for individual, boutique accommodation, and the grounding for Vinegar Hill accommodation.

David's skill as a potter is matched only by his ability as a teacher and patience with those who are new to the kinetic delights of the potter's wheel - the ultimate hands-on experience. Regular pottery courses are open to residents and non-residents alike. There are no identikit rooms at Vinegar Hill. You can pick your accommodation from the spacious Garden Room, the secluded Hayloft or enjoy the delights of Rosie - a beautifully restored nineteenth century showman's wagon for a truly unique experience.
