Sally Tuffin Pottery
Sally Tuffin is one of the UK's leading pottery designers and works from her own studios, Dennis China Works in Somerset.

The pottery uses traditional techniques and all pots are hand thrown, with decorating techniques that include incising, slip trailing, spinning and floating colour.

Her work is highly prized with early and limited pieces fetching premiums. In the December 1999 Phillips auction, a Sally Tuffin Polar Bears footbath commissioned by Phillips for sale in its first ever Sally Tuffin auction made four times the estimate selling for £2,300

Sally Tuffin PotterySally Tuffin attended Walthamstow School of Art and the Fashion School at the Royal College of Art where she won the silver medal. In the Swinging Sixties Sally and Marion Foale set up a dress company "Foale & Tuffin" in Carnaby Street, London, and from 1976-1982 she ran a company for childrens' mail order clothes called Tuppence Coloured.

In 1986, Sally and her husband Richard Dennis took a stake in Moorcroft along with Hugh Edwards.

Sally Tuffin PotterySally was the Designer and Art Director at Moorcroft Pottery until 1992 and among her most famous ranges were Cluny, Penguins and Finches. In 1992 Sally and Richard left Moorcroft to set up Dennis China Works.

From 1995-1998 Sally also designed for Poole Pottery and her range is still a bestseller particularly as it was chosen as one of the designs to be used on the tail fin of the controversial BA decision to decorate its aeroplanes with patterns other than the Union Jack.
