I enjoyed exhibiting at Maison et Objet in Paris last week.

My stand was part of the British European Design Group in Hall 8: Now! Design a vivre, funded by UKTI. As well as ceramicists, the British contingent included designers of glass, textiles, furniture and lighting.

It was a busy show and I received orders from Austria, Switzerland, the Lebanon and Japan. I now have a lot of cake stands to make and will be very busy in the studio for the next few months.

Other handmade pottery at the show included Silvia K Ceramics, beautiful earthenware platters with leather handles from Brighton and Tortus Copenhagen, thrown stoneware vases from Denmark.

I have been exhibiting at MADE London, a lovely craft show curated by Jon Tutton and Sarah Young.

It is held in a Sir John Soane church at One Marylebone, opposite Great Portland Street tube station and next to Regent’s Park.

It was a very busy weekend with many visitors and new contacts made as well as sales. It was also good to catch up with fellow exhibitors and meet new ones.

One of the best things about the show, for exhibitors anyway, was the efficiency and speed of getting the car packed and away at the end of the show. We were able to bring the car right to the steps in front of the church and pack it within 15 minutes, with the help of a friendly porter. Thank you Jon and Sarah, Anne-Marie and all the helpers.
