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
