John Doran

 

A potter finding inspiration in the landscape around him. Working from his studio in Altrincham, he creates contemporary ceramics that serve as a bridge between modern design and the raw beauty of the natural world.

His work is characterized by a "powerful sense of place." John doesn't just observe nature; he captures its essence—its rhythms, textures, and vitality—and pours that into the clay. The result is a collection of vibrant, feel-good pottery that feels both fresh and timeless.

Whether you are looking for a statement piece or a daily companion for your morning coffee, his goal is to share that deep connection to nature through the medium of clay.
