The Cotswolds (/ˈkɒtswoʊldz/ KOTS-wohldz, /-wəldz/ -wəldz) is an area in south central England containing the Cotswold Hills, a range of rolling hills which rise from the meadows of the upper Thames to an escarpment, known as the Cotswold Edge, above the Severn Valley and Evesham Vale. The area is defined by the bedrock of Jurassic limestone that creates a type of grassland habitat rare in the UK and that is quarried for the golden coloured Cotswold stone. It contains unique features derived from the use of this mineral; the predominantly rural landscape contains stone-built villages, historical towns and stately homes and gardens. The population of the District is about 84,000.

Studio Pottery producing high fired stoneware domestic and garden pots, all hand thrown and mostly wood fired. There is a showroom at the pottery where the finished work can be seen and purchased. It is usually possible to view the workshop and see any work in progress, and visitors are welcome to ask about the production methods. There is a one and a half acre garden attached to the Pottery which is open to visitors from April to July. The garden offers a combination of open perspectives and intimate corners, and includes borders, shrubs, woodland glade, water garden with flowform cascades, kitchen garden and orchard. It is run on organic principles.
We visited Hookshouse Pottery for the first time, having seen some examples of the pottery at a local Art Exhibition. We were warmly greeted and shown to the Showroom by Christopher White, the potter, and left to look at his work, with a cowbell to ring if we had any questions! The pottery is hand crafted on site and is of a fantastic quality and originality. We bought a lovely planter for the garden and a smaller pot for the house. The pieces are well priced and there is a good range of designs. We would strongly recommend a visit.
