I am always shocked that so few of us attend these fairs??
Talking to the potters and fellow collectors has really helped me mature as a collector and the pottery is always amazing

It was a lot of fun. There were fewer potters there this year, but still plenty to see. I think there are too many new fairs crammed into the same months. Potters have barely enough time to make new stock before the next fair or Open Studio event. I wanted a Ben Brierley cup which I'd seen at Hatfield but he hadn't got round to making any new ones for the Oxford or Farnham fairs, and he's had an exhibition at one of the galleries

Beautiful photos Naomi.Thank you.
We tend to do just one Fair nowadays, and that is Hatfield. Even then, one is like a child in a Sweetshop. So much temptation! Oxford is too busy, too much a Senior CPA event. London is too Snooty! Farnham is slightly too small. And the Potfest Fairs are just too far away.

The photos were from the 2016 fair. I didn't take as many this year; mainly focusing on potter's marks. It felt like there were fewer exhibitors this year, but maybe they just spaced them out a bit more; there was an extra room opened this time. Surprised by how many potters told me they'd applied but didn't get in, like Mark Griffiths. I don't know if there was a bit of list comparing going on between the Oxford and Farnham fairs to make sure there weren't many potters doing both. That can get a bit tiresome, if you've already seen the same pots just s few weeks ago. But there are also more quality Christmas craft fairs around, so maybe some potters prefer to do a local show rather than fork out a lot of money for a stall at an Art in Clay show.

24th one this year. Weekend of 17-19 August 10-17.30. Hatfield.
The pictorial list of exhibitors is well worth looking at.

First time for years I did not go.

I’m afraid I took very few, just a handful of Ben Fosker’s stand (I’ll post them in his thread along with a couple of purchases), and at the student stand at the end of the day. I was just too knackered. I find Farnham a more relaxing place for taking photos.

James Hazlewood took loads. They’re on his FB Page. And Ben Boswell.
