David and Patricia’s oldest son Benjamin started work with his farther in 1975. Simon their second son joined them in 1979, followed by Caroline in 1980. Caroline, now married and living in Bristol, makes earthenware which is on sale in our showrooms and specific Exhibitions. In 1980 Benjamin spent a year in Australia working with several of the original apprentices who trained at Mosterton with David.

In 1990 the Partnership between David and Patricia was joined by their sons Benjamin and Simon. They now work together under the title of The Eeles Family Pottery. Many production techniques are used, a wide range of functional pots are made, each piece conceived separately and takes considerably time to complete. Throwing on the potters wheel is the principle method, hand building is also used. Nowadays, Stoneware and Porcelain are the main products. Our Stoneware has a plastic clay body comprised of Ball Clay from Wareham in Dorset, China Clay from Newton Abbot in Devon, and fine iron bearing sand from near Chard in Somerset. Our Porcelain clay body is made from China Clay, Feldspars from Sweden, and fine white silica.
