BOSEAN POTTERY
Boscean Pottery announces its closure after 52 years of production.
The Boscean Pottery in St. Just is forced to close this year following the death of its owner, Beth Marshall, in late February this year.
The pottery was founded in 1962 by Leach Pottery apprentice Scott Marshall and Leach student Richard Jenkins. The pair had great success producing rustic pottery for London markets and also employed apprentices in its early years. From the 1970s and onwards the Pottery was run by Scott Marshall who’s prolific output of kitchenware and ovenware supplied local customers and annual visitors up until his death in 2008.
For the last 3 years the workshop and gallery had been run by well known potter, Jacob Bodilly.
Jacob had trained at the Leach Pottery in St Ives, when it reopened in 2008, and went on to run Boscean Pottery after his training.
During the three years he spent at Boscean Pottery, he enjoyed success with annual exhibitions and commissions from the Eden Project, Kurt Jackson and English Heritage. Jacob spent his time reviving the Pottery workshops and customer base, whilst writing a book about the site’s history.
Following Boscean Pottery’s closure in March, Jacob has set about relocating his entire practice to Devon, near the hamlet of Greenham, on the Devon/Somerset border. This has come as a shock to many but although born in Cornwall, Jacob spent much of his life in Devon and is moving to be closer to friends and family.
The Pottery is now empty and the vast collection of its studio pottery and furniture will be sold at auction on the 10th July, next month, at David Lay auctions’ in Penzance. The lots contain rare pieces made at the Leach Pottery and a substantial amount of William Marshall studio Pottery and Scott Marshall kitchenware. The auction will also contain up to 50 pots made by Jacob Bodilly.
Jacob urges people that these are the last works to be made at the historic site and this auction hopes to make them accessible to the public and collectors.
Jacob extends his gratitude to Beth Marshall and her family for their support over the last three years and would like to thank all visitors and customers that have supported Boscean Pottery over its 52 year legacy.
News of Jacob’s new workshop will be posted on his new blog: jacobbodillypottery.blogspot.com

Cornwall is at a loss without this place,
where time could drift in complete bliss.
Out of time and out of it. Never will forget ..
Open Seasame !
It took 18 hours to fire one of my kilns the other day as it would not rise to the wanted temperature.
But after hearing the Dawn chorus of birds I finally could let it rest . Notice a new Kiln shed made by James Benzing.

On
Saturday 17th May potter Michel Francois opens his studio doors to the
public for another of his popular kiln opening events, where buyers and
art enthusiasts
can be the first to see his latest show of work straight from its final
firing.
In
celebration of spring this new collection, entitled River of Colour,
brings together a dazzling palette of hues across a range
of ceramic objects including wine cups, coffee beakers and Oriental
dining ware.
Francois’
elegant hand-thrown porcelain works will emerge hot from the kiln in a
vivid stream of celadon yellows, sky blues, emerald greens, glowing
ambers and the warm
orange of Gunwalloe clay, interspersed with pieces in tones of pearl white, midnight blue and rich luminous black.
The 60 to 80 piece collection includes noodle bowls, Japanese yunomi cups and coffee beakers, elongated desert bowls and
porcelain
champagne and wine cups. The show also includes a collection of
statement pieces including a contemporary porcelain wine carafe and
uniquely beautiful jars and
bowls in Maple, Plum, Beech and Chestnut ash glazes.
Visitors
to this FREE event are welcome between 3 and 5pm. Artisan coffee
courtesy of Espressini Coffee House Falmouth will be served along with
luscious cakes from Peasouk Café Falmouth. All
works are available for purchase with prices ranging from £10 to £500.

Some rare work is so blessed by the kiln there is no price to it.
A 0 can be added to its price without flinching. .
This is such a bowl. One of the finest pieces to come out of the Studio last year.
A bowl like this fits a particular person; this one now belongs to my dear friend David Collen of the Essence of Tea.

The Last Firing before the Cornwall Design Fair 2013
Why do I have FIRE written on my back? I think it may be time to open..
While I caan't help but notice that the black Seto teabowls have gone one touch too hot.
But not that much too hot.. I think Metin is right this is mission accomplished.
