Norton Priory Quince and Apple Fayre October 2015

john ayling

Another brilliant day yesterday at the home of the National Quince Collection for their annual autumn fayre. Over 40 children had a turn on the wheel, some for the third year running; some great trainee potters ! Apples and Quince, honey, cakes and bakes etc. for sale and lots to do and see in the Victorian walled gardens.

Wilfred's turn, Hannah watching and waiting.

Wardlow Mires potsandfood September 2015

john ayling

A lovely friendly event run by Pat Fuller of the Three Stags Heads, in the Derbyshire Dales not too far from Chesterfield. Its all about the table - about 50 potters with their tableware and small scale food producers. My most popular items were my noodle-soup/soup/stew bowls; quite large and deep, ash-glazed inside and ash washed outside. I mix quite a bit of gathered gritstone grit into the clay for these bowls and sponge the outsides when leather-hard to reveal the grit. This gives an interesting surface and good feel to the bowls.

Next years potsandfood event is 12th and 13th September... see www.potsandfood.co.uk
