Rodger Macready was the first thrower employed by Robert Waterson at Redbyrne Potteries when it was established in 1975. Later, he and his wife Hilary set up the Pottery Loft at Erina Heights on the NSW Central Coast. They sold it to the current owners in around 1991. Works, many with a distinctive leopard skin glaze, may be signed with a painted 'Rodger', 'Rodger M.', 'Rodger Macready', 'R. Macready' or 'Pottery Loft' and examples have also been found with a painted or impressed 'Rodger's Pots'.
