Potfest South West Shaftesbury

I am very excited to be showing my work again this year at Potfest Southwest. All the work I am currently making is inspired by the South West Coast and I cannot think of a better place to showcase my new collection.

Details are below.

Potfest South West will be held in the show field for the Gillingham and Shaftesbury country fair, just off the B3081, Shaftesbury to Gillingham road.

Over 90 makers have been selected to showcase a wide and diverse range of work that is guaranteed to delight and inspire. Discover functional and decorative ceramics to suit all tastes and budgets and buy direct from the maker.

Access

While we will do everything that we can to facilitate ease of access, this event is held outside, on ground that is often uneven and on a grass surface that may make movement difficult.
