Did you love the ‘Great Pottery Throw Down’? Well, if you are in Scotland this weekend, here’s your chance to get your pottery fix! Potfest at Scone Palace is on THIS WEEKEND, and let me tell you, it’s my favourite show of the year.
Why? Well, firstly the location is unbeatable. Potfest is set in the grounds of the magnificent Scone Palace, just outside Perth. Several marquees are set up with potters and pottery suppliers selling their wares, against a backdrop of the stunning palace garden grounds with peacocks wandering about.
It’s a wonderful day out for all the family, and not only can you buy pots from the people who actually make them, and learn more about how they are made, there are also demonstrations by various potters throughout the weekend. You also have a chance to try your hand at throwing pots on the potter’s wheel, and a children’s area where they can make their own unique clay creations!
When you have had your fill of all things potty, you can have a walk in the wonderful garden grounds, or visit the palace. Why not bring a picnic, or maybe have a cream tea in the lovely palace tearooms?
Please remember not all potters have credit card machines, so remember to bring cash or your cheque book.
Looking forward to seeing you there!

I have been selected to exhibit at a ‘Taste of Potfest’ exhibition in Cumbria this spring (more details to follow). However, having had some surgery recently, I am having a few weeks off. In the meantime I’ve posted some new photos to my facebook page. Head on over and have a look! https://www.facebook.com/c.holtet.ceramics/

I will have a selection of porcelain buttons with me to the Forfar Farmers’ Market this Saturday (14 November 2015), and one single yarn bowl! Six more yarn bowls are in the making, but didn’t get finished in time for this event.

Come along to Scone Palace (near Perth) to see my work and that of many others on display in the gardens. It’s sure to be a great day out!

I am opening the doors to my studio for a one day Christmas Art and Craft Sale, Saturday 7th December from 11am til 4pm. Bring your friends, enjoy a mulled wine and a mince pie, whilst chatting to the artists and browsing a wide selection of all things ceramic!

I will as usual be participating in the Oathlaw Gallery (near Forfar) Christmas Exhibition. This is a lovely show, with a wonderful mixture of ceramics, paintings, prints, jewellery, sculpture and much more. The preview is always lovely, with live music, mulled wine and nibbles, and a chance to browse and buy some unique work.
