'Art in Clay'

Celebrating 20 years of Art in Clay at Hatfield House in 2014, this show has now become one of the most important ceramic events in Europe.The makers range from young imaginative students and relative newcomers to leading National and International makers. Some of the best ideas for ceramics in interior and garden design will be on display for you to admire and buy.

There will be demonstrations taking place both inside and outside the marquees all week-end, from throwing and hand decoration inside the marquees to kiln firings outside. There is also a full programme of talks and demonstrations planned.

There are two awards presented each year; 'The Valentine Clays Peers Award' (best maker at the show), which went to Richard Godfrey in 2013. The second is 'The Potclays Student Award' and this was won by Mary Jones (Cardiff Metropolitan University). The awards are presented when the show closes on Saturday (5.30pmish) and you are welcome to attend.

If you appreciate the beauty of lovingly made pots and ceramics; there will be something here to inspire you. The magnificent setting of Hatfield House and it's parklands offers the opportunity to relax in the grounds during the show and spend a full day or more at this unique event.

Whether you are looking for something for the 'inside or outside' forget your preconceptions about 'craft fairs' and prepare to be amazed by the sheer diversity of Art in Clay.
