My next upcoming event is at Potfest in the Pens, Cumbria (2nd-4th August). I have previously attended this event as a member of the public, however this time I received the great opportunity to participate and have my own stall/pen. I am looking forward to be surrounded by like-minded, passionate people, this would be a great opportunity to network. As it is my first time showing at the three day event, I am unsure about the amount of work to take and what products would be

British Craft Trade Fair (Harrogate) is just a couple of days away. I will be located in the Newcomers Gallery at Stand N47, so be sure to come and check out my collection. This is my first year so I am quite nervous yet super excited. I am currently going over some final touches of my work and doing another mock up of my display to make sure on the day there will be the least amount of stress as possible! #BCTF #harrogate #tradefair #britishcrafttradefair #whitleybay #newcsa

It was great to see familiar faces and looking at new art work this year the students worked so hard on. My favourites were (in no particular order) Connor Garton, James Douglass and Neil Edwards.

I was working in the U.S as a Camp Counsellor and taught pottery, and briefly taught stained glass. It was an incredible experience and would recommend it to anyone.
