Description

No art hype, no gallery glitz, just potters and public mixing in a down-to-earth setting. Held under cover to save us from the inclement Cumbrian weather at Skirsgill Auction Mart, Penrith.

We are glad to see the return of our ever popular, free throwing lessons, hand building workshops and demonstrations over the three days of the show – we hope you’ll roll your sleeves up and have a go!

A gallery of exhibitors joining us for this show is available on the Potfest website.
