Hartley & Noble

Making Potter's Lives Easier!

ABOUT US

We’re Stuart and Nicky, the husband-and-wife team behind Hartley & Noble pottery equipment. Our story began in 2018 when a local carpenter asked us to make a set of pottery batts. That simple request opened our eyes to how much potters needed tools that were reliable, well made, and genuinely helpful. Since then, improving the pottery making experience has become a real passion for us. We pay attention to what potters struggle with, listen to the small frustrations, and design tools that truly make a difference. Our goal is to “Make Potters’ Lives Easier!” – from choosing the best products, to following up with excellent customer care.”

Can I just read the manufacturer’s information online to work out the measurements?
Always measure your own wheel so that we can make you a system that fits perfectly.  Every wheel is individual and Information found online or from friends can sometimes be inaccurate.  You can find our quick measuring guides here on our website – Click Here

No.  Always measure your own wheel and if you can’t find your specific size listed then choose our ‘Bespoke’ option.  This is usually at no extra cost.  We will make you a bespoke batt system that fits your wheel perfectly.  You can find our wheel measuring guide here on our website – Click Here

That’s okay – we offer a bespoke service.  Simply follow these steps.
1. Measure your own wheel using our measuring guide. You can find it here on our website – Click Here
2. On the product page, choose ‘bespoke’ or select the size that is closest to yours from the drop down box options.  
3. Enter your own measurements in the ‘Bespoke Design’ box on the product page.

We are always happy to help advise you so you can take quick and easy, accurate measurements.  However, responsibility for the accuracy of your measurements lies with you.  We cannot take responsibility for interpreting photos and videos you send us – this is because camera angles, lighting, and focus can make them unreliable. Your own view of your wheel is always the most accurate.
