Art in Clay
Art in Clay showcases some of the finest ceramics currently being made by individual makers in the UK and Europe. This outdoor summer event held in marquees in the beautiful parklands of Hatfield House hosts over 200 exhibitors, including a full programme of talks & demonstrations and a Clay Creation Zone to fire your imagination.
The aim of Art in Clay is to bring a wide range of ceramics and pottery to a new audience as well as the knowing collectors. It is amazing what can be made from clay. There are pots to use in the kitchen and garden, exhibited alongside amazing sculptures and artwork that is equally at home in a top London gallery. It’s a special experience to be able to buy from the artist who has made the work; to find out about their passions and influences and really discover how your pot came into being. The makers range from young imaginative students and relative newcomers to leading National and International makers. Some of the best ideas for ceramics in interior and garden design will be on display for you to admire and buy
