Craftsman / Craft & Design Magazine at Potfest in the Pens
Craftsman Magazine, first launched almost 25 years ago ( and re-launched last year as Craft & Design ) and still run by its founders, Angie and Paul Boyer, is a monthly publication for craft makers and their businesses as well as those who enjoy buying craft work. With a comprehensive diary of UK craft events & organisers, business advice from the experts, interviews with craftmakers, organisers, suppliers and galleries, news and reviews, directories and listings…. Craft & Design Magazine provides an invaluable source of inspiration, information and ideas for all craftmakers. Each year the July issue has a special Pottery and Ceramics theme within it – and over the years featured ceramicists have included Nick Williams, Dennis Kilgallon, Rob Watson, Andrea Cundall, the Northumbrian Craft Potters, and
Craftsman/Craft
& Design Award at Potfest in the Pens
Craft & Design Magazine is proud to present an award each year at
Potfest in the Pens. In 2005, when the theme was "Cylindrical
Form" , Angie and Paul selected
a piece by Nick Williams entitled "Hear My Train A Comin’"
as their winner – a quirky teapot which had been made specially
for the Potfest competition.
The 2009 theme is yet to be announced –
but once again, one of the main points that Angie and Paul will be looking
for is work which has been specially created for the competition.The
annual Potfest competition, which has a different theme each year, gives
makers a great opportunity to make something they would not usually
produce, inspiration to branch out into new areas with techniques and
finishes as well as style, so judging takes that into account as well
as quality of design and craftsmanship. The Winner is presented with
a Certificate at the show plus a bottle of Champagne to celebrate with
– and the all important front cover feature in Craftsman/ Craft
& Design Magazine. www.craftanddesign.net
