Tubelining Masterclass Experience at the Moorcroft Heritage Visitor Centre - Friday 10th May - Book Now

Time for Design

We encourage you to create a design and Moorcroft will do the rest.  A unique work of art is an attractive proposition and a piece of Moorcroft in your home carrying your own design or one from a family member or friend is hard to resist.  It comes at a price of course, but, on a very recent BBC Antiques Roadshow, a vase designed by an art undergraduate reappeared among all of the antiques to receive an expert’s valuation of £1500!  So what must you do to start the process which will ultimately lead to your design becoming a one-off of ceramic artwork?  Like all good ideas, it is simple. 

Our unique tubelining skills must be borne in mind when creating any design you submit.  Your design must have clear linework for tubeliners to follow and we will do our best to find the colours which are the nearest compatible match in our range of metallic oxide colours.  Any designs that have no lines, but which rely on glaze effects, cannot, we regret, be made.  For total understanding, your design can be submitted as a watercolour (preferably) although we may be able to work with coloured pencils.

The piece will carry all of the usual Moorcroft marks including our trademark name.  In addition, it will show the date of manufacture and your name or initials.  In short, every Time for Design piece will be totally and utterly unique. 

We strongly advise that you use templates supplied by Moorcroft which can be posted or emailed to you upon request.

We have some special Terms and Conditions, and these points must be fully understood at the time they have been received back at Moorcroft, signed and dated.  To discuss creating your own design, receive shape templates and our Terms and Conditions, please Email: enquiries@moorcroft.com who will be able to provide you with more information.
