Dargle Valley Pottery

KwaZulu-Natal


Started by famous South African potter Ian Glenny, this old-school, ‘70s-style pottery place is at the earthy and rural end of Ardmore's range of arts centres but no less captivating for that. You can wander through the barnlike gallery and watch the current local potter as he turns the pots. The pieces are noted for their stunning glazing; the tagines are popular.
