About Graham Fern
In 1970 Graham came to Britain from New Zealand with his wife and four children. He wished to work with British potters.
1971
On a trip to Cornwall he was offered a job with Jon Cheney, a potter who had worked in Porthleven for a number of years in the Old Lime Kiln building.
1972
Jon moved to the Lake District while Graham stayed on making pots in the building, later moving his pottery to the ground floor of his house at 16 /18 Peverell Road, until a workshop became available in the village. This was in Shute Lane, but only for a short period as a fire started in another building destroyed the workshop along with the street of buildings.
1973
The pottery moved to a large shed in the yard beside the Harbour Hotel becoming Porthleven Pottery from 1973 – 2003. He and his wife Marjory ran the pottery, Graham throwing pots while Marjory glazed and helped load kilns.
1985
Fenella Fern, their daughter, began working there, throwing pots remaining until 2002.
