Here is a picture of my studio yesterday morning, just before I started to pack everything up to take to the Contemporary Craft Fair at Bovey Tracey, which opens on Friday 15th June – that’s in three days! Here’s a link to the show’s website: www.craftsatboveytracey.co.uk
I’ve been very busy making ceramics of the new variety for the show, plus a small selection of tableware in dandelions, tiny hoops and dotted stripe patterns. Also coming with me are giclee prints of the watercolours I’ve been painting over the past few months, so I’ll be interested to see how these go down as this is the first time I’m bringing work like this to a show…Plus, some of the gorgeous books that Heather Dewick has been making for me. Although I have to admit that I don’t want to sell any of these, as I love them too much to part with them!
Here are a few more images of the pre packed ceramics…now they are all in boxes ready to go, my studio looks really bare, and the huge amount of dusting I need to do has revealed itself…
Bovey Tracey fair is a highlight of my year. I always have such a lovely time there, whatever the weather…! I hope to see you there this weekend.
Oh dear – I can see that if I make any money I’ll be spending it at your stand!
Don’t do that!! Hope you are all set – have a good journey and i’ll see you there. xx
I love the trays Katrin, damn it.
Why thankyou, Hannah! x
I hope you have a good show. I will miss being there but will be camping at the Wealden Times midsummer fair in Kent instead
I’ll miss you too Linda! Hope you have a good weekend, and remain dry. Or at least partially! x
Beautiful! Love the new designs. That pale turquoise blue is one of my all time favourite colours.
Thankyou! Hope to see you at a fair some day..
Hi Katrin,
I’m so glad your year of creativity is going so well – the designs of your latest pieces are just exquisite! I was desperately sad to miss the Bovey Tracey Fair, but it clashes with my annual weeks holiday on the Scilly Isles. I hope to see your work elsewhere soon, I’d really love to buy something!

Hi Christine, thanks for the lovely comments! I hope you had a good holiday. I’ll be exhibiting at the Yew Tree gallery near Penzance in september, then at Made in London in October…and then I’ll be at Made in Brighton and exhibiting at Hayletts Gallery in Maldon in November. Hope you can make it to one of those…I’ll post more details about all of these events in the next few weeks. All the best Katrin
