Designed & Handmade with Care in the Highlands of Scotland
Wheel-thrown stoneware and porcelain, made slowly and by hand — one pot at a time.
Hi, I'm Erik Lang
I'm a potter based in Scotland. I make wheel-thrown stoneware and porcelain that's designed to be used every day: mugs that sit nicely in the hand, bowls that feel good to hold, and serving pieces that quietly lift a table without shouting for attention.
Make well, pay attention, let the process leave honest marks.
Pots with a Bit of Kiln Magic
I love the mix of control and surprise in ceramics. I work towards clean forms and strong, simple shapes, then let the firing bring its own character — subtle shifts in glaze, soft variation, and the kind of surface you notice more the longer you live with a piece.
Learning the Craft
I spent several years apprenticing at Blackhills Pottery with master potter John Christie, known for his wood firing and ash glazes. That time really shaped how I work: make well, pay attention, and let the process leave honest marks rather than trying to iron everything out.
What You'll Find Here
Most of my work is small-batch tableware — mugs, bowls, oil bottles, vases and serving pieces — along with the occasional tea bowl, a form I keep coming back to for its warmth and history. Each pot is a little different, because they're made slowly, by hand, one at a time.
Everyday pots, when they're made with care, can end up in extraordinary moments.
I was commissioned by the head chef of Gordonstoun School to make VIP dinnerware, later used to serve dinner to Anne, Princess Royal.
