I'm taking part in this year's Potfest in the Pens show for the first time. It's a well established ceramics only exhibition and selling show that's held in a cattle shed in the Lakes! There are about 130 ceramicists taking part and it's over three days in the beginning of August. It's very well known and buyers come from all the world to buy and collect so I'm really hoping it goes well.

I've decided to create a whole new body of work for this and I've already started work on some pieces, see the photos. They are developments of my lace technique but including more architectural elements so I'm looking at building structures, towers as well as medieval textile forms and patterns.

I'm going to make some wall mounted peices and some large free standing ones, hopefully they will stand out a little from the other work on show which is mainly functional work.

Keep checking the blog for more photos of the work in progress!
