It’s summer, and I’m busy preparing for a couple of upcoming shows.
First coming up is Potfest Suffolk. To my shame I have to admit that I have never even attended a Potfest as a visitor… but I have longingly followed their shows for years. I was particularly excited to find, when I finally decided the time had come to apply, that they were launching a new show a mere hour from where I grew up!
So I am delighted to share that I applied and was awarded a spot at the new show and I have been busy behind the scenes preparing for it.
I have even pulled my usual trick of developing a couple of new shapes at the last minute, which if they don’t work will put a bit of a hole in my collection… so here’s hoping!!
One of which is a smaller version of my angled jug, without a handle to become a little sauce pourer. I am absolutely loving the shape at the moment but decision time for decorating them is looming and the undulating patterns don’t work with the sharp lines so my brain is working overtime for what I’m going to do.
I have also found out that I will be exhibiting at Ceramics in the City, which is coming back!!! I loved this show and I can’t wait to see it in the newly renovated Museum of the Home (it was the Geffrye Museum when I last did the show). I am absolutely thrilled to be part of its return.
