The Russell Connection

Winchcombe Pottery 1926-2026

Opens 2nd June 2026 to 29th November 2026

Come and see the centenary of Winchcombe Pottery. It tells the little-known story of the links between the Russells and the pottery in a series of stories. These begin with Gordon Russell’s father showing the pioneering potter Michael Cardew the redundant pottery at Winchcombe.

The exhibition is one of five centenary shows in the Cotswolds with others at Court Barn in Chipping Campden, Winchcombe Museum and The Edgeler Collection in Winchcombe and at Nature in Art near Gloucester. There is also a celebration weekend at the pottery itself on 12th and 13th September.
