William then established, developed and managed a Pottery at nearby Braunton, where it is always remembered that Michael CARDEW learned to throw pots under William's tuition. When the pottery owner's fortunes collapsed, William wanted to purchase it himself, but failing this he subsequently moved in the early 1920s on to Clevedon in North Somerset where he opened his own establishment, calling it the Fishley Holland Pottery.
