About

James Ashwell of MottesPots is a heritage pipe maker who completed a Heritage Crafts funded residency with the Ironbridge Gorge Museum Trust in 2024.

Heritage funding has allowed James to buy a 3D printer in order to print new pipe moulds made from 3D scans of pipes whose moulds have been lost to time.
