The official website of Morris & James
Welcome to the next chapter.
The story continues, and so does the passion behind it. This is the spiritual home of Morris & James, and what happens from here is something we’re shaping together. If you find joy in colour, a slower pace and the simple things in life, you’ll feel right at home. Come and be part of it.
A Matakana institution established in 1977. The pottery itself is now closed, so join us here for what’s next.
