Say hello to P•OTTO•RY 🏘️
Otto* started working with clay when he was 7 years old. His first build was a toucan. At 12, he developed his brand, P•OTTO•RY, for a school project, for which he ultimately won their ‘Entrepreneur of the Year’ award.
Inspired by the cottages of Dungeness (a favourite spot for a dog walk), he designed and made his ‘incense houses’ (complete with smoking chimney) and ‘house magnets’ (crafted from the offcuts) so “you can create your own village on your fridge.”
Initially selling them at fairs, Otto asked to sell any remaining stock here at H+D, so I have the very last few.
“In a world rushing towards AI, what we create with our hands becomes even more special!”
A motto from Otto for all who buy handmade. 🤍
Otto would like to say a massive thank you to:
🏺Anthea Ashdownpottery for teaching, helping and mentoring him for this project.
🕯️Ben and Louise Bouclé for collaborating with him and providing an incense cone for each house.
*Oh, and I am his mum. I don’t usually post photos of Otto’s face but he has approved these few. And I promise that 100% of P•OTTO•RY sales will go to Otto.
