Potfest 2011

The International Ceramics Festival –  this year I’m doing the Park event.  July 29 /30/ 31   2011

The venue, Hutton-in-the-Forest, is a cultural destination in itself with it’s walled garden, topiary terraces and woodland walks. The ceramics festival takes place in and around marquees in front of the castle, with the potters competition pieces on the lawn, juxtaposing ancient architecture and modern ceramics.

My best new pieces will be on display here. http://www.potfest.co.uk

Prague Fringe Award 2011

The Prague Fringe Festival 2011 –  May 27th to June 4th.

a very special event that it is, now considered such an important part of Prague’s cultural calendar, and described by Steffen Silvis at the Prague Post as “The world famous Edinburgh Fringe festival’s naughty grandchild”.

This year a special piece of my work is being presented as  The 2011 Kreativni Cena (Creative Award)

This award is awarded in exceptional circumstances to an individual or company who has truly embraced the spirit of the festival; it is not exclusively a creative award although can be such and will be awarded by festival directors on an occasional basis.
