We are Ian George and Karen George and together we started Elmhurst Creative to share our love of craft and creativity.
Based in Cottenham, near Cambridge UK, our main focus is on pottery or ceramics but we both have interests in other crafts such as woodwork. That’s why we chose the name Elmhurst Creative. You can get a taste of what we do in our gallery.
As well as making and selling pottery we also offer individual or small group pottery lessons from our garden studio. Lessons are for adults and run during school hours and terms. You can find out more on our class pages or use our contact page to get in touch.
