A kitchen designed to feel as though it has always belonged to the house 🏡

Created by Artichoke for a Georgian estate in Sussex, this High Victorian bespoke kitchen draws on historic craftsmanship and architectural authenticity, with every detail carefully considered to complement the character of the property.

We were delighted to contribute the handcrafted tiles for this exceptional project. Rich in colour, texture and subtle variation, the tiles bring depth, warmth and a sense of permanence to the space, complementing the scale and grandeur of the bespoke joinery while adding a distinctive layer of craftsmanship and character.

A wonderful example of how thoughtful collaboration and traditional making techniques can create interiors with lasting beauty and authenticity.

We’re proud to share that our work on the restoration of the historic faience tiles at Blandford Town Hall has been awarded Best Heritage Project by 🏆

Hidden behind plywood for decades, these remarkable decorative tiles have now been brought back to life as part of the refurbishment of this stunning Grade I Listed building.

Using 3D scans of the surviving originals, our team hand-carved new moulds to faithfully reproduce the intricate decorative and dado tiles. Missing and damaged glazed tiles were carefully colour-matched and recreated using traditional craftsmanship, ensuring the restored scheme remained true to the original 1891 design.

One of the highlights is the reinstatement of the beautiful face of Demeter, goddess of agriculture, once again taking pride of place within the building.

A huge thank you to everyone involved in this special project, including Hammond Building Contractors, Spencer Hall and for their expert installation.

As seen in the ✨

Our collaboration with brings together two historic British ceramic houses in a collection that’s as timeless as it is striking. Inspired by Burleigh’s iconic 1968 Calico pattern, each hand-moulded tile transforms the intricate floral motif into a richly textured surface with depth, movement, and light-catching detail.

Finished with a translucent, stained-glass-style glaze and handcrafted in the UK using traditional cast and pressed clay techniques, every tile is a celebration of British craftsmanship and modern interiors alike.

Perfect for residential, commercial, and hospitality projects, these tiles bring character, artistry, and enduring elegance to any space.

In 2025, student joined us in the factory to hone skills in the art of mosaic and encaustic manufacturing. This week, her hard work was officially unveiled at hospital 🏥
Ruby is pictured here with our Floor Tile and R&D Production Manager, Chris Cox, alongside the talented team from Gary, Guy, and Pawel, who brought the installation to life in the old portico.
The mosaic will soon be joined by furniture, metalwork, and stained glass created by fellow students to celebrate the completion of their Building Arts Programme.

As one of only a handful of traditional encaustic manufacturers remaining, it’s more important now than ever to ensure these heritage skills are preserved for the future ⚒️ 🎨

From concept to creation 🖌️

Every project starts with an idea… but at Jackfield, it becomes something truly one of a kind.

Working closely with clients, each design is developed from initial concept through to final installation, combining traditional craftsmanship with modern techniques to bring even the most complex visions to life.

From hand-carved moulds and precise slip casting, to expert 3D scanning and colour-matching, detailed glazing and firing, every step of the process is carefully considered to ensure a flawless finish.

Whether it’s a heritage restoration, a large-scale commercial project, a residential upgrade, or a completely bespoke design, no two projects are ever the same.

Crafted with care. Designed to last. Built to tell a story.

Women have played a huge role in the ceramics industry since its beginnings. 🏺

Often valued for their nimble fingers and attention to detail, thousands of women worked in the factories that produced the decorative wares Britain became famous for. Many were skilled “paintresses,” carefully hand-painting patterns, applying gold decoration, or placing transfer-printed designs onto pottery and tiles. Their steady hands and precision were essential to the final look of each piece.

Women also worked across production — preparing clay, glazing, finishing, and packing ceramics that were shipped around the world.

Today, we’re proud to continue this tradition. Over half of our workforce at our Jackfield and Stoke factories are women.

Here are a few images of the team in action.
