A few weekends ago I was lucky enough to have the chance to visit
the annual pottery market in the market place in Loughborough. It was a veritable
blast of colour, a whirlwind of activity, bunting abounded, the atmosphere was electric
and it was a truly inspirational experience!
I was quite overwhelmed by the sheer number of stalls, mostly selling pottery, but not exclusively, as there was a small selection of food, drink and plants. I was also quite surprised by the number of local craftsmen who were present …
Of course, I couldn’t resist buying a few things, and I would
post some photos of what I bought, but most of them are for presents and the
event hasn’t arrived yet, so that would spoil the surprise for my recipients. Instead,
I’ll show you a few pictures of what the event was like, and give you a few links
to the people who were showing their wares. Do bear in mind though that I went just before people
were closing up, so although there don’t look to be many people around, actually
it was a very busy event.

I also picked up a few leaflets detailing future events, including the Loughborough craft trail, and some events a bit further afield.
