ABOUT

The road to 'Far End Pottery', the short version

I was born in Sheffield and raised in Derbyshire.

I studied art foundation at Chesterfield College of Art

and completed my degree in ceramics at

Camberwell School of Arts and Crafts in London.

I potted in Derbyshire after leaving London and later I was

fortunate to follow a lovely 35 year career teaching art in Reading.

After retiring five years ago and moving to Riddlesden, West Yorkshire, I have returned to my passion of making pots at 'Far End Pottery' and I hope you can share some of that passion with me.

Thank you for your time and I hope you enjoy looking at my work

Martin John Upton
