A restored Victorian pottery factory from the days of coal-fired bottle ovens. Gladstone is an excellent day out for the whole family with lots of opportunities to get your hands on the potteries. Allow at least 1.5 hours for the visit. At this working pottery, you can see craftsmen and women throwing and turning clay on a wheel and also decorating porcelain - though the actual firing is done off-site in modern electric kilns, and the distinctively bottle-shaped brick kilns are not used. It is a fascinating 'live' museum which also includes an excellent short video history presentation, and a tea-room.

Learn about the history and skills of the pottery industry and workers. Visitors can try their hand at making a pot on a potters wheel or making or painting china flowers.
