Ceramic Wales was founded in 2015 by a group of potters based in and around North Wales, who had a vision of creating a quality ceramic event to promote potters from across the UK and the rest of the world. Our first show took place in 2016 at Wrexham Glyndwr University and was followed by three more annual events located within the area. After taking a break due to the Coronavirus pandemic we are re-launched in 2022 in a new location, only a short drive along the coast to the beautiful Bodrhyddan Hall in Denbighshire, where we look forward to welcoming visitors and makers on the 17th and 18th of June 2023 for the second time.

Potfest South East – Glynde Place is set in parkland immediately in front of a grand Elizabethan country house on the doorstep of the South Downs. The show is within easy access by road and rail from Brighton, Eastbourne and Lewes.
