Hippy Hut Pottery

Beyond the studio, business owner Cally has scaled up the offer and now brings the art of pottery to life at corporate events across the UK, giving companies the chance to bring employees together to collaborate in creative ways away from their desks. The business was launched using a loan of £14,000 from BizBritain, which Cally used to purchase a new kiln and additional equipment to help her keep up with increasing demand for her workshops.

Having worked as a chef, a cake decorator and a teacher, and now in her early fifties, Cally felt the need for a change. She completed her MA in Fine Art and decided to follow her passion for pottery making and make it her full-time career.
