Studios, Gardens, Workshops and Events at Ajoupa
Ajoupa Pottery was created in 1987 by Rory and Bunty on the site of an abandoned Pottery in Chickland Village, Trinidad. We produced original figurines, depicting country life, from locally dug clay.
Workshops are offered on location and the gardens are available for meetings, retreats and special events.

4.5 acres of lush garden with spaces to meet.
Meetings, Retreats and Events in the Gardens
We have four distinct garden areas available for booking. Previous guests have hosted weddings, engagement photoshoots, fashion and music videos…
We have a growing number of requests for a more sustainable meeting place and we are happy to work with organisations who wish to explore an alternative to the four walls and an air-conditioned carbon footprint.

Pottery and Art Studios
Rory built a new much smaller studio not far from the old workshop. Bunty started experimenting with glaze making and Raku firing. Workshops are offered in the first part of the year in Raku pottery and mosaic making. Bunty’s work covers large sculptural pieces, mosaic panels and tabletops and smaller work.
Favourite pieces at the moment are the Trini Pothounds that are Raku fired to give them that adorable scratchy, muddy, patchy look that characterize our stray dogs. Every dog is different! And cats too!
Next level mentorship for aspiring creatives.

My plan is to link each of these coloured introductions to a landing page of it’s own. There will more info, more photos and links to the separate gallery for each.
Latest Update
