You may recall that earlier in the year we published information about the launch of the new Focus On Ceramics at the Craft In Focus mixed-discipline Contemporary Craft Fair at RHS Garden Wisley (29 April–3 May). 

Craft In Focus is now inviting additional applications from ceramicists who wish to demonstrate their work within the event in return for discounted stand fees. We are looking for makers who can offer an informative and interesting demonstration to give visitors an insight into the work behind the creative process. 

This is by far the busiest craft event in the UK often attracting over 40,000 visitors. If you would like to be part of this experience and feel you can offer such a demonstration, please do get in touch by email, or complete the application form giving details of the demonstration within the Notes section.

We look forward to hearing from you.  

Reminder: The closing date to apply for Celebrating Ceramics at Waterperry Gardens is Monday 9 November.

This year we are pleased to announce that the Leach Studio will be taking part with a display, demonstrations and talks. We are delighted they have chosen to participate at Celebrating Ceramics, Waterperry Gardens, one of Europe's leading ceramic events.

For all other events, there is no official closing date but early application is advised and there is an Early Bird Application Discount for makers/artists applying to the mixed discipline Contemporary Craft Fairs before 30 November.
