About ClayLife Pottery

ClayLife Pottery is based at Brougham Hall, near Penrith, in Cumbria, on the edge of the inspiring English Lake District. Started in Spring 2022 by Fran Roberts, ClayLife Pottery creates beautiful, practical and unique stoneware ceramics.

I have had an affinity with arts and crafts since an early age. Drawing and painting, writing, dressmaking, wool spinning, and now ceramics.


Working out of Interlude Ceramics at Brougham Hall, which is run by Mary Chappelhow, and in my home studio, I have been developing my understanding and application of the art of pottery and ceramics.
