Based at The Old Tile Yard for William Blyth, Gabriel Nichols is a master potter with over 40 years of experience. He creates bespoke tableware from his Barton Upon Humber studio and a wide range of garden ware at the Pottery Shed, including items from 4" longtoms to large tree pots. Gabriel also handles custom architectural ceramics such as handmade bricks, chimney pots, and roof tiles.
The new range is defined by a departure from the raw, earthy tones of the Humber Estuary clay, incorporating bright spring colors that contrast beautifully with his traditional craftsmanship.
The collection features vibrant, spring-inspired glazes—think daffodil yellows, vibrant greens, and sky blues. These are applied as "dipped" glazes, leaving the bottom of the piece in its natural, unrefined state to honor the material's origin.
The range includes his popular "Wide Tom" mugs, dipping bowls, and breakfast sets.
