Clandon Pottery

Clandon Pottery at Cherry Cottage, Back Lane is a craft studio pottery set up by Terri Smart in 1994. She makes an extensive variety of animals, birds and fish as smaller gifts, some thrown domestic ware but in recent years her primary work is sculptural pieces of fruits, seeds and people for garden or indoor display. She welcomes commissions, participates in various artists exhibitions and is an active member of several art societies in the area.

The highlight of the year is Surrey Artists Open Studios in June, when artists all over Surrey open their studios to the public. As part of this, Terri sets up an exhibition in the garage at Cherry Cottage with fellow villager and textile artist, Iona Mackenzie Laycock. Visitors to the studio can see work in progress, buy work and wander through the meadow where a sculpture trail of her larger pieces nestle among the tall grasses.
