It is somehow fitting that a potter who uses traditional methods that have changed little over the centuries should work and live within the ancient landscape of one of Wiltshire's iconic White Horse hills. Local man Trevor Pictor has worked at White Horse Pottery in Westbury for over 20 years and it has been his family home since 2002.

He learn't his craft at the Pottery under Stephen Humm until starting to work there independently in 2001. On entering the Pottery, which is housed in a fine Victorian former school building, you are immediately struck by the stunning green, blue and cream glazes which were created by Stephen Humm and are unique to White Horse Pottery.

Commissions Report

We undertake a large variety of commissions, ranging from items to mark a special occasion such as a Golden Wedding to a personalised bowl for your pet! We can also produce multiple items either engraved or featuring a small plaque - for example, we currently supply personalised tankards for a local microbrewery.

One-off Pieces Report

Every once in a while, a piece of pottery emerges from the kiln with that extra 'wow' factor. It may be due to the appearance of the glaze following the firing process or the way Trevor has combined glazes to create a piece that particularly stands out. These are limited availability items and are priced accordingly.

A fantastic selection of beautiful pottery for my daughter and son-in-laws engagement and new home, father-in-laws espresso cups, partner-in-laws ale tankard and many more gifts for various occasions. Trevor made a bespoke plant pot for me for my conservatory. I even have a large lamp from here. Enjoy visiting and i'm sure you will wonder at the variety.

Solo potter, running Studio/ workshop near the famous Westbury White Horse & close to town centre.
A unique creative enterprise, selling distinctive & beautiful pottery, & also locally sourced honey. Definitely a top place to visit, with the working area adjacent to the shop.

Beautiful handmade pots, and kitchenware. Really practical, but so stylish. I just love their simple designs and colours. The online shop works well, but a visit to the pottery is great. Many thanks Trevor for my recent pots which arrived in the post. Great service!

I've never been to a potter with so much character and charm. The lessons were cheap and brilliant. The pots were beautiful and bespoke. What more could you ask for!

Love this place! Gorgeous selection of usable pottery at sensible prices. Trevor the potter is one of the nicest people you could wish to meet. He made me a huge garden pot for my fig tree and it’s fabulous.

Trevor is lovely guy, and an amazing potter with a fantastic selection of pottery, he can also do custom pieces. The pottery not only looks great but is long lasting and dishwasher safe. I have many pieces and they are ideal to be given as gifts. Highly recommend a visit.

Our party of 12 ladies had so much fun celebrating a special ladies Birthday. We ate lovely food and a few glasses of bubbly before we were let lose with the clay. We giggled as we tried to create our own little masterpiece, and each having a turn to throw our own pot using the wheel. Highly recommend!

Although we only booked an hour, it was great! Had a go on the potter's wheel and actually produced an exceptable little bowl . The lady showing the four of us was both friendly and encouraging, we all had a good time. Thank you.

I had a fab time and my creations have turned out well. My friend booked this for 4 of us and although I was very late (thanks to traffic) I still enjoyed the pizza and the pottery making! I thoroughly recommend as a giggle and to try something new! Thank you!

Over the years I have bought countless pieces from this pottery and my pleasure in the purity of form and Trevor's unique glazes has not diminished. Instantly recognisable, White Horse pottery has resisted needless change and become timeless
