Australian Handmade Pottery

The Woodfired Pottery is a potter’s studio in Glen Huon, owned and operated by John Martin, in Tasmania’s Huon Valley. Glen Huon is a 5-minute drive west of Huonville, and 40 minutes south of Hobart (58 kms).

The Woodfired Pottery studio and workshop is located in a converted early-20th century barn, surrounded by gardens and farmland.

The potter, John Martin, designs and hand-makes a range of pottery pieces and demonstrates traditional pottery making and firing techniques for visitors.
