South African potter, Digby Hoets who lives and works in Midrand, Johannesburg is renowned for his groups of large ceramic jars / pots which are suitable for interior or exterior spaces and for water-plants.  His pots are widely used by architects, interior designers and landscapers in South Africa and internationally.  

His pots are on sale at his studio gallery in Carlswald, Midrand (by appointment).  They may also be viewed or in the "Pots in Stock" section of this website which gives details of prices, number of pots in stock and availability.  He undertakes commissions for his pots for local and international clients,

   In June 2025, I completed a commission for 64 pots for the renowned US architect and designer Peter Marino for a private project in St Barts (Saint Barthélemy) in the Caribbean.

In 2023 I completed a commission for 45 pots for Peter Marino for his major renovation of the CHANEL boutique in the historic La Mistralée Villa in St Tropez, France.  

​

I have provided pots for Peter Marino many times over the last 25 years, but never on the scale of these two commissions. They were exciting but challenging projects.   So, if you’re in St Tropez, the boutique will open every year for the European summer season.  Read an article about the project:  https://edit.pt/chanel-saint-tropez/

An article on how I make matching groups of my large pots was in the July / August edition of the UK ceramic magazine Ceramic Review, in the section entitled Potter's Secrets
