OBJECTS FOR LIFE
Feldspar began in late 2016 by Jeremy and Cath Brown. Their ethos was to create ‘objects for life’ - beautiful things made properly and to last, with an elegant and simple aesthetic to weather the trends of time. Made out of fine bone china (the strongest type of ceramic) by a family pottery in Stoke on Trent.
In 2018 Feldspar set up their own ceramics studio in Devon to supplement the production in Stoke. The team there make everything using a method called 'slip casting' - pouring liquid clay into plaster moulds. Mould making, slip-casting and industrial bone china production are all listed as critically endangered crafts by the Heritage Crafts Association in the UK. Many of the larger potteries in England now only serve as museums and showrooms, with all of their wares being made (more cheaply) abroad. Feldspar were anxious to preserve the skills and craft required to keep bone china production going in England, and to show that it is perfectly possible to make things from start to finish in the UK. Their Devon pottery now makes half of all our ceramics, and everything they make is hand painted there.
