The Watts Gallery website states the following: In 1900, with the Watts Chapel project completed and seeing the potential for her home arts class to become a village industry, Mary Watts founded the Compton Potters' Arts Guild. The Guild followed the model of a medieval guild with workmen being given the opportunity to ennoble their lives through their own creative handiwork. A commercial pottery needed premises, and in 1901 financed by the Wattses the Compton Pottery was built at the bottom of the hill beneath Limnerslease. Rapid expansion followed in response to demand, and when plans for Watts Gallery were drawn up in 1903, accommodation for twelve apprentice potters was included in the design. The original gallery building was even known as'The Hostel'. The Compton Pottery prospered throughout the beginning of the 20th century. On Regent Street stocked their works.
