Andrew & Keith Crouch - The Marches Pottery

by Keith Crouch

He does make some wonderful stuff. They are yunomis rather than bowls.
Someone said the other style of mark is his brother’s but it seems to be on the same pots so I think they’re both his.

Edited to say, the pottery was started by Keith Crouch, Andrew’s brother, in the early 80s. Andrew joined him and they continued potting together until Keith left in the 90s to become the parish priest. Now it’s just Andrew

? the mark looks like an angry baboon!

Edited to say it’s Keith Crouch’s mark. Difficult to photograph because of the glaze but it’s an A with an upsidedown v below it

His brother Keith stated the pottery and then Andrew joined him. Andrew continued potting there after Keith left to become a vicar, so some have an ‘Av’ mark.

Via Mark Griffiths:
"Keith started the Marches Pottery in 1981 -82. Andrew joined him and they worked together until Keith returned to the Church as a Parish priest in the mid nineties. Keith was trained by Geoffrey Whiting who I think worked in Kent teaching students taking Orders."
