About
Louise Crookenden-Johnson creates cheerful, handmade pottery gifts and home décor in Kettering, Northamptonshire, UK. Inspired by a local potter in her early teens and refined through a Degree in Ceramics at Loughborough College of Art (1987–1991), her work is celebrated for its playful charm and bespoke designs.
Her popular collections feature characterful animals and birds that blend a retro feel with a modern twist.
In a light-filled, purpose-built studio set in a garden, reclaimed treasures—such as her Grandma’s comfy armchair—add a unique character to her creative process.
Based in a vibrant town with excellent transport links—just an hour from London—Louise also offers pottery classes and ‘throw a pot’ sessions for beginners.
Environmental responsibility is a key value, reflected in the use of recyclable clay and eco-friendly packaging.
