Mick Casson in his workshop at Wobage Farm. Photographs by Clair Hodgson

I have enjoyed studio pottery for a very long time and it is one of the most satisfying areas of my work as a ceramic conservator. When I moved to Herefordshire it was such a pleasure to find that Wobage Farm Workshops are just a stone’s throw away from Pithouse Farm.

The workshops were established by the late Michael Casson and have several resident potters and a gallery attached to the ceramic workshops where pottery courses are regularly held. Michael was an extraordinarily warm and welcoming advocate for studio pottery and has led many to adopt his colleagiate style of working and sharing knowledge.
