THE SHOWROOM

The riverside showroom was built in 1988 adjoining the old mill, it is cantilevered over the river and gives a splendid setting for display. Access to the showroom, garden and workshop is available to the disabled. The showroom is signposted from the A55 Denbigh to Ruthin road and is positioned about 50 yards down the Brookhouse Lane.

On display in the showroom is a large range of personel work by David and Margaret. David enjoys working on a large scale with his jars, bottles, pitchers, platters and dishes. Some of the pieces are extruded, including trays, square dishes with added feet and lidded boxes. Many of the pieces are thrown then beaten, including the ginger jars, some of which are oval and others squared.

Margaret makes individual bottles and bowls both in reduction stoneware and porcelain. Currently she is working on a range of bottles and boxes with a rich copper red glaze on them which has been developed using several layers of glaze and pigments to acheive this illusive colour. A range of finely carved blue celadon porcelain is on display alongside a comprehensive range of decorative domesticware.

Constant experiment with reduction glazes, bodies and pigments is an ongoing progression in the Frith's workshop where the interaction between traditional technology and innovation are apparent.

Alongside the individual pieces, a comprehensive range of domesticware is available. All the items for use in the kitchen and dining room, with that individual richness which gives pleasure to handle and use. Commissions for dinner sets are welcomed and customers can chose the glaze and decoration combination.
