Discover how a heritage art pottery operates – from design and shape creation to surface decoration – and meet the skilled workers who have spent decades mastering their craft.

Visit our historic factory, purpose built by William Moorcroft in 1913. More than a century later, the building remains at the heart of Moorcroft, with William’s grandson, Will Moorcroft, now proudly leading the company into its next chapter.

Explore our Heritage Visitor Centre and see inspiring new designs, alongside our new Moorcroft Home collection – a stylish new way to bring Moorcroft artistry into every room, with beautifully crafted tea towels, tote bags and more – all of which are made in Staffordshire.

Step inside our museum and discover a remarkable collection of Moorcroft pieces, beautifully displayed in original Liberty & Co. cabinets. From the pioneering work of William Moorcroft to the generations of designers who followed, each piece offers a glimpse into a remarkable story of creativity through the years.

For a deeper insight into the world of Moorcroft, book a guided tour of our working factory. Discover the artistry behind each creation and learn more about the intricate processes and traditional skills that bring Moorcroft to life.

Whether you are discovering Moorcroft for the first time or returning as a longstanding admirer, we invite you to experience our heritage and share in the excitement of this new era.
