Where are we now?

Temuka Pottery is proudly New Zealand owned, operated and made.

In 2015, the production of Temuka Pottery moved from the Temuka Factory, to Palmerston North. The brand became solely owned by the Pepworth Family in 2020. The Temuka Pottery Retail Shop, owned by the Scarsbrook Family in Temuka remains one of the main retailers of the Pottery. We are still hand painting ranges in store in Temuka and all of the glazed ranges are produced at the Temuka Pottery Factory in Palmerston North.
