About Zen Pottery Supplies

At Zen Pottery Supplies, we provide everything you need for your pottery journey, from pottery wheels and kilns to pug mills, glazes, and clay. We chose the name “Zen” because pottery is about finding your flow, that moment of focus where it’s just you and the clay. Our goal is to make your process easy and enjoyable by offering high-quality pottery supplies and equipment, so you can focus on creating, whether you’re a beginner or an experienced potter.

Our Story

Zen Pottery Supplies started in Lichfield, Staffordshire, just a stone’s throw from Stoke-on-Trent, the World Capital of Ceramics. It all began when the founder, Rae, decided to leave an unfulfilling job and focus on what really mattered, creativity and helping others. 

Zen understands the struggle of poor tools and hard-to-find supplies, so we set out to make things easier for potters. From sourcing reliable products to offering honest advice, we aim to support both beginners and professionals alike.

Like any small business, we’ve had our challenges, but it’s all been worth it to serve the amazing pottery community. Helping you bring your ideas to life is what keeps us going.

Our Vision

At Zen Pottery Supplies, we aim to be a reliable, approachable source for high-quality pottery wheels, tools, and supplies. What sets us apart is everything we offer is practical, trusted, and chosen with care. Our goal is to make pottery enjoyable and accessible while supporting you at every step of your creative journey.

Important Notes for UK Buyers

  • High-Temperature Usage: While this kiln can reach Cone 10, frequent firing at this temperature may reduce the lifespan of the elements. For regular high-temperature use, we recommend a three-phase kiln. If three-phase power isn’t available, the Cress ET18 kiln with high-fire elements is a great alternative.
  • Power Requirements: This kiln requires a 20Amp power socket, which is not standard for UK domestic sockets. Consult a qualified electrician to install a suitable power outlet before use.

Why Choose the Cress 1814 Kiln?

This kiln combines advanced technology, user-friendly features, and exceptional reliability, making it a top choice for UK potters. With flexible programming and excellent temperature control, you’ll be able to produce stunning ceramics with ease.
