"Patience and resilience is a prerequisite for life as a potter, but the pandemic has tested the best of us to the limitPotters are used to isolation tooWhile we are well-practised at being holed up in the studio – exploring and developing new ideas and designs – the past two years have shown us that we cannot do what we do in a bubbleIt has shown us that we need other people; people who offer critiques of our output, who appreciate and buy what we make and, crucially, it has shown us how much we gain as part of a supportive community of fellow makersSo, I am beyond thrilled that the return of this important and joyous convening means that we get to see each other once again."
- Lara Scobie, Ceramic Artist and Chair of Ceramic Art London
