Set up in 2020 the aim was to create a company to enable Darcy to design and make products that she truly loved. Being young and setting up a business was a daunting task, but the dream to create her own work proved too desirable. And so deloise was born, a company which aims to deliver beautifully handmade ceramic home-ware

​

Darcy studied Furniture and Product design at university and found ceramics during a placement year spent in a ceramics studio. Here she learnt everything about ceramics and production, from rolling slabs of clay, to slip-casting and the very beginnings of throwing. During the first Covid-19 lockdown Darcy spent her time learning to throw, over the following 4 years this skill was nurtured until she felt comfortable to sell her work in 2023.

​

Now a few years down the line Darcy has been able to make the dream of being a full-time potter a reality.

Please feel free to pop by her new studio & shop, opened in September 2026 where you will find pots fresh out of the kiln and get first pickings of the items that never make it online!

The Yard Cottage, Main Street, Cotesbach, LE17 4HX.
