The Potting Shed

Project Description

We started working with The Potting shed in 2006, manufacturing their wide range of highly glazed garden ceramics creatures. A true creative, our client sculpted by hand each of his new creations which Sorcit then replicated with our Chinese manufacturer and mass produced for retail.

The client has a passion for glazes and finishes, and has a meticulous attention to detail, so we had to work extremely hard with the manufacturers to get consistency into the product and the various glazes across the range. Over several years, we developed in strong partnership with the client; developing seasonal ranges that covered many designs and across several materials.

The ranges have been highly successful and have been sold into many high street retailers, including the large garden centre chains (Wyevale Garden Centres, Dobbies, Hilliers group and Blue Diamond group of Garden centre). We developed and produced over 100 different products for this client to date which continue to sell in their 1000’s around the world.

Subsequent work for this client consisted of a total re-brand of their corporate literature and logo, as well as designing and manufacturing coated metal products, extending their current product offer.
