It seems to be a year for firsts! Art in Clay Farnham is a staple for potters and collectors alike, and I'm looking forward to my first outing at this iconic show. Although I trained at Farnham (it feels like aeons ago) I haven't shown back in the old town since I graduated.

There'll be every kind of domestic, sculptural and conceptual ceramics rubbing along cheek by jowl, so if you haven't visited before there are lots of reasons to make it a first for you too; a chance to see early career potters shaking things up a bit alongside the old timers.
