It is always an interesting place to go to. But was always so tight and sooooooo very busy.



Spoilt the enjoyment of  it more than somewhat. Much prefer Art in Clay and Earth and Fire

is there one in Cambridge next weekend Phil?

In Phil's absence.....................

To me the line-up looks more interesting than Oxford.

I agree

just realised I was reading the wrong list, I knew it must be wrong when I read Richard Godfrey

Sarah Villeneau looks interesting

The Oxford one is quite small and gets very hot, but an interesting selection.
Oxford ceramics gallery is also holding a teabowls exhibition down the road.
Farnham's Art in Clay is in a couple of weeks,

The Oxford Fair is a CPA one. The people showing there get a little too overfamiliar when you have been collecting for a long time.
Missed Cambridge Innovations last year as we were on holiday. Will be going this year. Looks interesting.Really like Keith Varney's work which we first came across at the Japanese exhibition in Manchester...

It's frightening to look back and see that I showed some of Sarah's work in a mixed exhibition back in 2008. These days I do often have Jane Cairns work on show but for me the real star is Rebecca Appleby.

Saw most of those at Hatfield.....

28th -29th Oct
Ruthanne Tudball will give a demo which is very interesting imo

....I have time to burn this year... so if its not freezing cold then i might chance my arm with some of this modern fancy art pottery stuff this year

At Oxford you need Money to burn as well!

Oxford Ceramics Fair at the end of the month. Thankfully they’ve moved back into the school. Last year they were in the sports hall which completely lacked any sort of atmosphere.

End of the month; 30th-31st Oct. back in the school

Lisa H said "it's in the Sports Hall."

Who's right? There's only one way to find out............

Ah, ok, that’s very possible. Certainly more Covid safe than the school hall which gets very hot and crowded

Oxford Ceramics Fair 2024, Oct 26-27th, 10am-5pm. Back inside St Edwards School instead of the sports hall. Much better vibes inside the school

Oxford Ceramics Fair this weekend. Went on Saturday and although it's back in the School, the old room has been completely rebuilt, and the stands are spread over several rooms, including the catering hall across the quad. If you don't check the map in the booklet they hand out at the entrance then it's easy to miss a whole roomful. It's too spread out so it's almost as soul-less as the sports hall, and there's a marked decrease in the number of items many of the sellers had brought with them. Maybe they underestimated the stand sizes, or couldn't fit many items in their cars, or it's the end of the year and they'd sold a lot in previous fair? I don't know. For some of the sellers it was the only fair they were doing this year, or they'd recently fired the kin, so there didn't seem to be any reason why they weren't loading the tables a bit more. Maybe they'd sold a lot before I got there by mid-day I don't think I'll bother going next year.
