Congratulations to Alex Pawson whose wonderful highland cow was voted People’s Favourite in the adult section and to Emily from Downe House who’s gravity defying Cabinet of Curiosities was the Primary/Secondary People’s Favourite.
Other prizes went to Emma Samuel and Andrea Newill and in the children’s section Leila, from St Gabriel’s School, and Keiran and Clara from Clay Skills for Kids at City Arts.
This year’s judges were local ceramicists, Diana Pattenden and Katherine Kingdon and prizes were kindly dotated by Bluematchbox Pottery Supplies, Scarva Pottery Supplies, Ugly Duckling Pottery Painting Coffee House and City Arts Newbury.
