Description

See the work of the well-established alongside the up-and-coming, in an exciting mix of the sophisticated and the raw power of the next generation, combined in a bustling artisan marketplace.

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!

At each of the Potfest shows, the potters are invited to enter a piece of their work that responds to a theme.

The theme for our potters’ competition at all of the 2024 Potfest events is:

Hybrid – a mixture of two different things, resulting in something that has a little bit of both.

Potfest in the Pens Spring - 25th, 26th and 27th May 2024.

Potfest in the Pens Autumn - 18th, 19th and 20th October 2024.
