Charlie was 85 when he taught Anna the shapes done by his father, as well as his brother, the late Joe Owen. It was by reopening Joe Owen's shop in 1987 that King's Pottery was born. Part of it is carrying on the tradition of growing up in Seagrove and seeing how much it means to people here. I think you must enjoy it, to do it very long, because you put a lot of hours in, and it's definitely hard work. I do this because it's something I want to do badly.
Pottery is all in the family with the Kings.
