Ned Heywood
Ned Heywood graduated as a 3D designer from Newcastle College of Art in 1969. He started making pottery three years later, and in 1983 opened his workshop and gallery in Chepstow.

Most of his work is made to commission for major companies, national and local organisations, including tile panels for the exterior of buildings, heritage plaques and trails, awards, corporate gifts etc.

He enjoys the relaxation and contrast of throwing practical pots with elegant timeless forms, which he glazes with his own vibrant stoneware glazes. He is also a creative and an accomplished cook.

Ned has been Chairman of the Chepstow Festival since it started in 1988 and the producer of the Monmouthshire Historical Spectaculars staged at Chepstow Castle, Tintern Abbey and Caldicot Castle
