The Chicken Run Studio

Stoneware pottery & Raku

Welcome to The Chicken Run Studio

Hi! I’m Alison Holmans. In the quiet surroundings of my garden, in what used to be the chicken run where my chooks kept me company, you will find my pottery studio.
It is a wonderful hideaway for bringing my creations to life.
The Chicken Run Studio really is my favourite place!

I create an eclectic mix of beautiful stoneware and Raku pottery, both wheel-thrown
and hand-built. Stoneware is the most durable type of pottery, which means it is highly functional, too. It is safe to use in the oven, freezer and dishwasher, and can withstand
hot summers and cold winters outdoors.
More ornamental Raku pieces are truly unique.
Born of fire, they take on a metallic finish that has a nature all of its own.

Creating is the art.
The properties of clay, heat and glaze influence that art.
