Popolo Ceramico is a ceramics business that specialises in personalised ceramics. The business was founded by Christina Taylor-Chisholm in 2010. Christina studied Art in Newcastle upon-Tyne and has always had a passion for ceramics. Following the birth of her first child, after a career in Project Management Christina decided she wanted a much better work/life balance so decided to leave her job and set up a ceramics business. Combining her love of art, ceramics, interior design, bright colours and her background in business, Popolo Ceramico was created.

“I wanted to create beautiful, bespoke ceramics, that were not only gorgeous personalised keepsakes, but that was also extremely stylish.”

After years of working in the Ouseburn pottery alongside some of the North East’s best ceramicists, Christina had perfected her trade and decided to launch her UK franchises.

“I loved working in a creative environment, meeting all of the new parents and babies, and having a coffee and chat with the group leaders. It never felt like work. I’d work really hard in busy periods which gave me the flexibility to take ALL of the school holidays off and spend time with the kids. I could never have done this with my old job and I wanted to offer other people the same opportunity.”
