Art in Clay - Hatfield House : 16th Art in Clay 2010, Hatfield

This show has now become one of the most important ceramic events in Europe and this year celebrates it's 16th anniversary. The makers range from young imaginative students and relative newcomers to leading National and International makers. 
There will be demonstrations 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. 

Three awards are offered each year; ‘The Valentine Clays Peers Award' (best maker at the show), which went to John Higgins. The second is for ‘The Student Award' sponsored by Art in Clay and was, for the first time won jointly, by Matthew Marsh of the University of Wolverhampton & Barry Stedman of the University of Westminster. The third award sponsored by www.studiopottery.co.uk went to Eddie Curtis. The bi-annual award is ‘The Mick Casson Award' This award is donated by Steve Harrison and Ben Casson. It's a tankard made by Steve in a wooden presentation box crafted by Ben. All awards are presented when the show closes on Saturday (5.30pmish) and all 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.
