Commercial Clay Ltd was established in 1982 by our principal
Peter Stokes. Peter left school at 16yrs of age and
joined the Ceramic Industry initially as a ceramic technician
in the laboratories of a number of companies within
Stoke. During this time he gained experience in colours
and glazes, technical ceramics and tableware. He attended
the local college on a day release/night school for
10yrs, completing the Pottery Manager Certificate and
Associateship of the Institute of Ceramics. During this
time he gained numerous Governors Awards and Medals.
During the recession in the pottery industry in the
early 80’s Peter became redundant, which led him
on to establish Commercial Clay, a company that has
grown by reputation and now supplies a wide range of
clays to industry, craft and education. |
