Burleigh uses skills you won’t find anywhere else in the world. The patterns are created from engraved copper rollers which in themselves are works of art. Used daily to print Burleigh’s patterns onto a special fine tissue paper which is then painstakingly and skilfully applied to the pot. Each part of the process of making Burleigh requires skill, patience and experience and Burleigh pottery passes through many pairs of hands during its crafting journey through the pottery. It is this dedication in preserving time honoured skills which makes Burleigh the way it is today and always has been. Burleigh can be seen on the Poole Pottery stand at Harrogate Home & Gift Buyers’ Festival 2019 in Hall DP4, Stand DP4-2 14th-17 July 2019.
