Potclays Opiniones 

I recently had a rather weird and rather alarming steam issue with my kiln and as always the response from Potclays was both extremely quick and helpful. A particular thanks is due to the incredibly knowledgeable James Otter who correctly assessed the issue and patiently talked me through the issue.
I love their shop as well. Always costs me a fortune as I can never just come out with just one item!!

I just want to take this opportunity to say how helpful & supportive Potclays have been over replacing my Rohde Eco-Top Loader kiln for a Potclays S43 Top Loader Kiln.
I’ve had seriously bad firing issues for over 4 years with the Rohde kiln (right from the start!!) but annoyingly the company never gave any real help, instead they asked for more & more information from my electrician, plus they ended up leaving it all to the retailer Potclays to sort out!!!
I’m now pleased to say that the previous issue with the Rhodes kiln of struggling over 1100℃ & failing to reach high temperatures, has not arisen over the past 6 months with my new Potclays 8.5kw kiln & I can enjoy making & firing pots again.
Finally, a special thank you to Jonathan who gave up his time to visit on more than one occasion & encouragingly looked into finding solutions to the problem.

My shimpo wheel developed problems several years after the guarantee expired. I called PotClays who I bought it from. They diagnosed the problem over the phone, sent me a guide showing how to solve it and explained the process in detail, all within minutes of my enquiry. It worked perfectly, thank you so much Potclays. Brilliant customer service.

I bought a starter kit, which has just arrived. So far the service has been excellent. Being a beginner, I had a slight concern about the kiln, but my email was answered satisfactorily very promptly alaying my worries. I'm looking forward to getting set up and making a start with my throwing wheel and doing some firings.

I've been consistently happy with the service I've received from Potclays. From buying clay to the help and advice I've received. Recently James helped me with my Shimpo, plus during covid I was able to place an order and collect safely. Total confidence - thank you!

They have the gear you need, dispatch can be slow and expensive. Comms are last century.

Really great company. Given me loads of advice as a novice kiln owner. Prompt replies to emails and very friendly.
Would definitely recommend. 😊😊

Great company, wonderful customer service and reasonable prices!

Lovely company - James provided patient advice when I was buying and even more impressively fantastic support when my kiln developed a fault after I'd had it for 18 months.

I appreciate the prompt services of Potclays and generally also the materials they sell. One product to be careful is JB Porcelain. We have had two orders in 2016. The first one was fine in the beginning but deteriorated within the year, the second one was like pudding.

I have recently purchased a Rhode kiln from Potclays. I needed help to get things started so i contacted James. He was absolutely brilliant and help me programme the kiln. He is passionate about his work and wants to share this with others. I am so pleased we chose Potclays and look forward to visiting their lovely showrooms too.

Setting up my new kiln that was sitting around in packaging for 2 years (life gets in the way), and it wasn’t working. No idea what to do, I call Potclays who were very kind and helpful. They gave me James Otters email, I nervously told him my woes and he was wonderful. He told me what to check, I checked and it worked. I was so stressed at the thought I’d perhaps damaged my kiln by not installing it immediately but James put my mind at rest. Thank You Potclays and thank you James. You have always been a great company to deal with. 🤗

My Rhoda kiln had stopped working
When I call for advice I was put through to James
James couldn’t have been more helpful talked me through what to check for and got it working again .
Thank you

Hi everyone, I am an expat in Spain trying to set up my own pottery workshop, thus no local support available at the moment. So I emailed Potclays in desperation for help in installing my new German kiln. On Monday morning I got a phone call from James Otter at Potclays who patiently answered all my queries, sent me information via email, and spent twenty minutes or more going out of his way to offer help. My faith in human nature is now restored, Brexit notwithstanding, and Potclays now has a new and very committed customer!! First class kindness, second to none service. Thank you James!!

A great and knowledgable shop. I visit fairly often to attend courses here and top up with supplies. Really like the Mayco Stoke and Coat glazes at the moment. The staff in the shop are always great and very friendly. I’ve only had one small issue with an order, and when I contacted the store, they were able to solve my problem immediately. .

I know a lot of their stock comes from America, and this can involve a bit of a wait for delivery but I’ve found that by following their Facebook page, they will update deliver forecasts on their page.

I’ve also found them to be very good at given technical advice too, able to give sound advice about their products. Also, their courses are brilliant!
