West Forest Potters Exhibition

What a hectic weekend!  The West Forest Potters were holding their annual exhibition at Henley Rugby Club as part of the Henley Arts Trail.  There were 26 exhibitors and what an amazing variety of work on display.  Friday was setting up day and having moved most of the furniture out of the room it was time to move the tables to their positions for displaying the pots.  The tablecloths were laid out and the work carefully arranged.  The evening 'invitation only' party was a great success and several items ended the evening with a red dot adornment
The exhibition ran from Saturday to Monday and was well attended.  My stint of stewarding was Sunday morning and I had a great time, chatting to visitors and the other stewards about pottery.  I also had a chance to study all the items in more detail.  Monday saw the exhibitors packing up their wares, some were pleased with the number of sales they had made and some were a little disappointed.  However it is always satisfying to know that your work has given pleasure to those who came to see the exhibition.

 This is my display, I sold three items - the ornamental ball, a set of three small bowls and a lidded pot.
