WHO IS
ANNABEL MANTLE?
Here at our tiny pottery workshop, situated at the mouth of the beautiful Mawddach Estuary in Snowdonia, Wales, we produce original hand made and decorated ceramics.
Annabel has been running her ceramics business for over 20 years, starting in a converted cow shed and now working in her garden shed and garage studio. Her Husband Pete has become increasingly involved over time by helping out at busy times and preparing the upcycled timbers for the popular street scenes and bird pictures.
Annabel learned her craft over many years working at her parents pottery business and also spent a few years working at Quarry Pottery in Corris Craft Centre, increasing her knowledge and skill further.
The original family business was set up in the early 1970s by Annabel's parents Lesley and Steve Holland. Annabel continued to make some of the popular lines, such as The Dylan Thomas Collection, whilst also developing her own products, including small animals, decorative bowls and plaques. These are sold through an arts and crafts cooperative called Celf Aran Arts, which is situated in the Ty Siamas Building, Eldon Square, Dolgellau.
If you would like to visit our workshop and see a selection of our products, you are most welcome, but please call first to make sure we are here and for directions, as we are slightly off the beaten track!
