Graham & Fenella Fern: Update.
potterymad62 wrote:Graham Fern pottery tankard. He set up his pottery in the small seaside town of Porthleven near Helston in Cornwall UK. The pottery was very short lived and I think ran through the 70s & early 80s and closed in the mid late 80s. His daughter Fenella also a potter, never seen or came across any of her pots. They closed the pottery and moved to New Zealand and a great friend of Norman Taylor of the Bolingey Pottery.
There's not much details & info on the pottery. However I still doing the research on the pottery. The tankard below is one of Graham's fine Soda Glaze designs & his gf base marks." />

I would just like to update the family relation between Graham & Fenella Fern. A while back on my blog page I wrote a short history on the Fern pottery, Porthleven. Not long after, a very close friend of the Fern family contacted me regarding some of the info in the blog. The information he gave me as follows, Fenella is Grahams daughter and not is wife. I have corrected the details above.
Thought I would just share this info with all here interested in the Fern Pottery.
