Peter Montgomery is a potter from Belfast who makes functional porcelain tableware. His interest lies in ergonomic forms that are beautiful to look at and a pleasure to use. He studied ceramics at the Ulster University in Belfast and has worked in several pottery workshops in England and Australia.

Peter relocated to Austria in 2020, and established TON with Lena Butschek. TON is a ceramic workshop and teaching facility.

Peter is a graduate of the DCCoI Ceramics Skills and Design Training Course in Thomastown, Ireland. During this time, a growing interest in food fuelled a passion for functional pottery, and he began working with porcelain, throwing tableware alongside the production of individual pieces.

2017 saw a relocation to southwest England, to Kigbeare Studios, where he worked for 3 years.
