Meet the Shaftesbury Dream Team

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

Sophie

That warm fuzzy feeling you get when you walk through the door is all of the love Sophie's put into Sophie's Ceramics Shaftesbury, to make sure everyone leaves with a grin on their face.

Kate

With her bubbly personality and cheery presence, painting pottery when Kate's around is an absolute joy. She also makes a mean coffee.

Poppy

You may recognise the lovely Poppy if you've previously visited our other Cafe. Sometimes she likes to teleport to Shaftesbury just to see what everyone's painting.

Gloria

Glo is our behind-the-scenes diamond. Once you've finished your masterpiece, she gets to work sanding, glaze dipping, firing, and bagging it up ready for collection.

Geoff

Affectionately known by many as 'Grandad', Geoff is life and soul of the Sophie's Ceramics party. No one leaves without a smile when Geoff's wearing the green apron!

Claire

Claire joins us for weekends and holidays, and is a whizz at making milkshakes. She also doesn't complain when we say things like: 'Can you hold up those fish and smile?'

Katie

Katie is our directionally challenged marketing manager. She didn't realise how close we are to Gold Hill at first and got a bit star-struck when Sophie took her for a visit - bless.

Duggie

It was Duggie's decision to open the Shaftesbury cafe. Purely based on business, and nothing to do with the lovely doggy ice creams he gets as treats when he visits.
