Gallery Thea

Thea Cutting founded Gallery Thea in 2000 and hand-illustrates every design sold from her shop on Station Road, the last stop before Southwold town centre coming off the A12. The range covers mugs, bowls and homeware carrying her illustrations, alongside a paint-your-own pottery kit that customers decorate in the shop and collect after firing. An exclusive online partnership with John Lewis carries a personalised range of mugs, door signs, house plaques and celebration plates hand-painted to order with customers' own names and dates. The shop opens Monday to Wednesday from 11am to 4pm and Thursday to Saturday from 10am to 5pm. Cutting has also decorated a full dinner service for a client in New York.
