Cripplesease Pottery
Nancledra, near St Ives

Cripplsease Pottery was run by Jamie and Dodie Herschel on the site of the former Penderleath Pottery that was started in 1967 by Anthony and Christianne Richards.

Jamie and Dodie had previously run the Prykernow Pottery in Hayle which Colin Carbis (of Troika Pottery fame) helped them to establish.

Jamie and Dodie moved to France in early 2003 and the site is no longer a working pottery.

Jamie is a direct descendent of William Herschel, the famous musician and astronomer who discovered the planet Uranus and infrared radiation. His son, John Herschel, was a leading 19th century astronomer, mathematician and scientist.
