POTFEST AT COMPTON VERNEY IN JUNE

https://potfest.co.uk/compton-verny
A new venue for Potfest at what will be the first major Post  Covid Ceramics exhibition of the year. Normally Potfest is in Scotland and Cumbria. But this one is much more central,near to Stratford upon Avon, south of the West Midlands and north of the Cotswolds. There looks to be a strong exhibitors list as well.

I have never manage to get up to Potfest because of the distance but this does mean that here is more chance of me attending.

I was surprised that it is classed as the Midlands, Warwickshire is nearly as far south as Hitchin

Potfest down south, and Art in Clay moved to Windsor. Will wonders never cease

Its all London Centric Dan. Hitchin is about 40 miles from London, Warwick about 100.

Londoners must think the only county in the South is Surrey

To most Londoners anything North of the Watford Gap is a foreign country. You only have to look at the BBC and The national press to convince oneself of that!

I have always been puzzled by that, mixing with lots of nationalities has always broadened my horizons but it has not worked for Londoners in general.

From experience many true Londoners don't like foreigners and have moved to Kent................. or in the past, Spain.

Anyways it's LANDAN ENNIT! None of ya foreign muck

Did anyone decide to go?

Yes, went along on Saturday. It was fun, and all the tents had their sides up so it was well ventilated - unlike the hot and humid tents of Hatfield Art in Clay!

Unfortunately couldn’t make it to this weekend’s Potfest at Compton Verney.

Next Potfest at Fri. 23rd - Sun. 25th June 2023

They do not seem to have a list of the potters attending. Or is it me?

The website says “A gallery of exhibitors joining us for this show will be available soon.”
