Easy 5 stars, they went above and beyond with helping me. When I had questions, they happily gave me advice and recommendations. 10/10 would absolutely shop here again.

Loving my home studio wheel
Loving my home studio wheel! The wheel arrived the day after ordering which is lucky as I was so excited to finally own my own wheel I'd have been climbing the walls 😅
Thank you billy and lara for all your help, and for checking up with me after it arrived - will be back for clay and glazes!

Fantastic support from the Pottery People. The whole experience of buying a first kiln can be daunting but Billy and team explained things clearly and filled us with confidence and were generous with their time through the whole process. Can’t wait to get firing now!
Can’t recommend them highly enough.

Lovely glaze and super friendly staff :-)
I ordered some powdered clear glaze, it arrived quickly and although I've only test-dipped one piece, it's come out very smooth and clean! I had a small issue with postage but Billy was extremely helpful, I will definitely be back for some more glazes, thankyou!

Bought my first kiln from the pottery people. I was a bit nervous setting it up, but Billy agreed to give me a call when it arrived to talk me through setting it up and programming the controller. Still need to get my head around it a bit but the help was so useful, really felt valued as a customer.

Ordered the Ikon 61 GXR
Ordered the Ikon 61 GXR. It took 6 weeks to arrive, which was what was quoted at the time of order. I went for the delivery service as I am fairly local to Bristol.
Was really happy with the service from Billy and Sam. It was a bit of a struggle getting it down my steps in the garden and down to the shed but we managed it in the end! They talked me through how to use the controller and made sure I was happy with everything before they left and they took the packaging and pallet away with them.
Would shop here again and recommend the delivery service if you are in the South West.

Excellent and friendly service at competitive prices
I shopped around a lot for my kiln as it is such a major purchase. The Pottery People had the most competitive prices but also had great customer service. They answered all my questions, organised delivery to suit me, and have continued to provide an excellent after sales service.

I bought a 'beginners bundle' in November 2024. From beginning to end it was easy to choose, order and receive delivery of all elements. Since then I had a problem with my kiln and Billy arranged Kilncare to contact me ASAP. It was all sorted in no time. I'm very pleased with the items and service I had, and keep having, from The Pottery People.

Excellent service
We bought our first kiln from The Pottery People who have been brilliant throughout. The kiln is fabulous, it arrived well packed and safe and sound, as first timers we had many questions but their after care is excellent, they always have time for us and we have found their service to be first rate.

Wonderful kiln, super helpful, amazing service throughout. Would highly recommend
Bought a wonderful kiln from the Pottery People and they have been absolutely brilliant from the start. They have been so supportive in checking in via email to see how it’s all going. I did have a couple of questions about some settings and they got straight back to me with super helpful advice. They have been fabulous and I cannot fault them in any way. Great service, super helpful, fantastic product. Would HIGHLY recommend.
