Where to park

You can find us in Barnack Walk, right next door to Marsh & Ham car park. Head to the left of Morrisons past the dry cleaners, and you can't miss us!

Just Park location code: 3650

Or there's a free car park if you fancy a short stroll over the river. Go straight across the small roundabout between Tesco and Homebase, and the car park is at the end of that road. From there, head left on the footpath past the brewery, over the blue bridge, and the Marsh and Ham car park is to your right. This route is step-free, so suitable for prams and wheelchairs. It's roughly a five-minute walk.

Meet the Blandford Dream Team

When you walk through the door of Sophie's Ceramics Blandford, you'll be met with a cheery smile from one or more of these lovely folks.

Sophie

Sophie's amazing vision is the reason we're all here. She lives, breathes, and sleeps ceramics. Thankfully she doesn't eat it - too crunchy. Even on her days off, she paints pottery. Seriously!

Debbie

With her wicked sense of humour and infectious laugh, we dare you to walk out of the cafe without a smile on your face when Deb's around!

Poppy

If you look up 'ray of sunshine' in the dictionary, you'll find Poppy. She loves pottery painting herself, and she's often the brains brains behind and the face in our TikTok videos.

Gloria

Glo does everything from sanding bottoms and glaze dipping to kiln loading and unloading and bagging up - phew! We need a rest just thinking about it.

Geoff

Known by many as 'Grandad', Geoff is rumoured to be good friends with Santa Claus and regularly updates him with who should be on the naughty and nice list - so watch out!

Caitie

A vital member of the Sophie's Ceramics holiday team, Caitie is brilliant at staying as cool as a cucumber when it's "all hands on deck" at our busiest times.

Katie

Katie is our marketing manager. She turned up to paint on the day we opened, and then simply never left. You'll most likely find her in the corner muttering about social media covered in paint.

Duggie

Duggie is our resident good boy. He assists operations by making lots of friends, pawprint modeling, and regularly inspecting the insides of his eyelids lying under tables. He will do anything for a nice biscuit.
