About Potfest in the Park 2009

Potfest in the Park - a visual feast.

Over 100 exhibitors from all over Europe and beyond....all with very distinctive individual styles ....all passionate about working with clay.

This year 24 potters from outside the UK will be showing their work - many for the first time in the UK. A special feature will be six guests from Hohr-Grenzhausen, an old pottery town in Germany. In the past the town was famous for its salt-glazed ware, but in recent years many younger potters doing more contemporary work have moved into the area.
Hohr-Grenzhausen also hosts an international ceramics market and is the home of the renowned Westerwald Keramik Museum.
