NKHOTAKOTA POTTERY Background
Dedza is the highest town in Malawi and Dedza mountain, reaching up to nearly 7,000 feet, forms the backdrop to Dedza Pottery. The slopes of the mountain are covered with a well managed pine forest that supplies timber and firewood to a wide region. It is a beautiful and unspoilt environment in which to create, and great care is taken not to cause any environmental damage in the pottery operations. The pottery was started, as a private business, in 1987 by Chris and Charity Stevens.

The aim has always been to create ceramics that compete both technically and in design with the very best of international craftwork. Our products include a full range of tableware, hand modelled figurines, red clay garden pots, beads, glazed tiles, bathroom fittings, quarry tiles, firebricks and electrical insulators. From an initial workforce of 7 in 1987 we now employ over 270 permanent members. We find and prepare nearly all our raw materials locally, and much of the production is fired in kilns that burn the waste sawdust from the sawmill in Dedza and rice husks at Nkhotakota. Most of the glaze firings are done in highly efficient electric kilns with accurate controllers. All glazes used on our tableware are 100% non-toxic; thus the pots are completely safe for use with, or for storing, any kind of food or drink. They have been tested by the British Ceramic Research Association and meet all international safety standards. In 1997 we began exporting to Oxfam in U.K. As a partner of Oxfam we ensure that we follow the conditions of service for our staff drawn up under the “EthicalTrading Initiative
