After a decade as an enthusiastic amateur potter, Matthew apprenticed at North Street Potters in Clapham, London, under the supervision of Naine Woodrow. As part of his training he was involved in making hand-thrown restaurant ware for clients including Angela Hartnett, Michel Roux Jr, Coya, Claridges, Soho House and Malibu Kitchen at The Ned.

​

In 2018 he moved to North Devon with his family to set up Matthew Woodeson Ceramics. He specialises in domestic ware and smoke-fired art.
