About Cider Press Pottery

****Hi, I’m Matt Barnes.
I’ve been incorporating Celtic knotwork in much of my art work for many years. It seemed like a natural progression for me to work it in pottery as well and this line of pieces is the outcome.
Most of the Celtic knot pieces being produced at this time are designed for food service. As work progresses, the line is expanding to include ornamental pieces as well.
The glazes that I use are extremely unpredictable in their effects. Color can very greatly from one piece to another and because of this, each piece is very unique. If there is a certain type of effect that you want to match from a picture on this site, I will try to find one that is close. Please keep in mind that it will not be the exact piece that you see here. All pieces are dishwasher and microwave safe and baking items are oven safe as well. The Celtic knots used are from ancient stone carvings found in Ireland and Britain and are in some cases, many thousands of years old.
I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!
