Torc Pots

Torc sculpt everything by hand from their studio in the British Isles creating beautiful pots, water features, fire tables and outdoor furniture. Their one-off designs are beautifully crafted and made by hand to last a lifetime. They make very unique and distinctive statements for both residential and commercial settings.

Working alongside a talented team of artisans this family run business really specialises in textures, scale and bespoke design. In fact the design side of the business is well worth considering with landscape architects and garden designers appreciating the wealth of expertise this company has to offer. Torc are often commissioned to provide planter designs and outdoor furniture and they appear to thrive on creativity and innovation, always pushing boundaries to bring new ideas to life!

In addition to their standard range, they offer a bespoke service tailored to your needs. Whether it’s turning your unique design into reality or customising the height and width of their standard pots they really go the extra mile.

"When we are surrounded by so much that is mass produced there is a real appreciation for hand-crafted objects created out of organic materials which appeal to our senses. We shape them by hand, layer by layer, enhanced by texture and finish until they take on their own unique form and because of this no two pots are ever quite the same”

Torc’s green credentials are robust as they use a variety of materials to reduce their carbon footprint such as local recycled glass alongside bi-products from the steel and power industries - reusing waste! The addition of these materials increases the overall strength of their products. They also cure using hydration as opposed to high energy kilns.

Their material is a reconstituted stone, made from a blend of recycled materials sourced from the construction, steel and commercial pottery industries. The material has a clay-like workability, allowing it to be shaped on large potters’ wheels. Despite this, it is significantly more durable than clay, enabling the creation of individual units that are much lighter than traditional clay pots of the same size. It is also both frost and heat-proof, making it suitable for any climate or setting.
