About CB Pottery: Artisan Ceramics based in Crawley, West Sussex

​Welcome to CB Pottery, a small artisan ceramics studio run by husband-and-wife team Chris and Emily Byham. From our home studio in Crawley, West Sussex, we have been crafting unique, handmade pottery since 2024, blending traditional craftsmanship with a touch of whimsical imagination.

​The Makers Behind the Clay

​Our journey started with a shared love for art. Chris rediscovered his passion for the wheel in 2023 - first ignited by Bill Edwards during his time at Reigate Grammar and re-invigorated with a healthy dose of The Great Pottery Throwdown. Emily, a multi-disciplinary artist skilled in drawing and screen printing, transforms Chris' blank canvas creations into vibrant, one-of-a-kind masterpieces.

​Unique Ornamental Gifts & Characters

​We specialise in ceramics with personality. Our signature ranges are perfect for those seeking truly unique handcrafted gifts:

​Splashwings: Fantastical ceramic birds caught in moments of quiet reflection.

​Wonky Whiskers: Loveable, brightly colored cats available for “adoption,” complete with a personalized info leaflet and carry case.

​Keepsakes: Small, thoughtful items including ceramic worry stones and tokens for loved ones.

​Traditional Pottery with a Creative Twist

​If you are looking for functional art, our range of handmade homewares offer something for every style:

​Mugs for every brew: From dainty espresso cups to our signature “Fubsy” (wide and short) mugs and traditional shapes. Some decorated with beautiful glaze combinations, others with a 'purrade' of hand drawn cats.

​Artisan Bowls: Including our statement peacock-patterned pieces and cozy, everyday ramen bowls.

​Signature Glazes: Explore our custom Confetti glaze (pink with crystalline green accents), the Cloudberry collection, or our medieval-inspired Saintonge designs.
