Potfest Melton Mowbray once again brought together ceramic artists, pottery lovers, and industry suppliers for a weekend celebrating creativity, craftsmanship, and clay. Hosted at Melton Mowbray Market and Livestock Auction, the event featured over 90 ceramic artists and exhibitors in a lively indoor setting — perfect for discovering unique pieces, tools, and techniques.
The Cromartie team had a fantastic weekend at Potfest! Simon and Mark represented us on the stand, showcasing a wide range of Skutt and Cromartie kilns, Speedball wheels, and mid-fire glazes — along with plenty of creative supplies for studios and potters.
Visitors could browse, chat, and take advantage of our exclusive Potfest discounts across selected products. It was great to catch up with familiar faces, meet new customers, and hear all about the incredible pottery being created across the UK. From studio owners to first-time painters, there was a real buzz around the stand all weekend.
You can watch Simon’s Facebook Live video from the event for a full tour of the Cromartie stand and a look around Potfest itself. The video gives you a great feel for the weekend — from our display of kilns, wheels, slab rollers and glazes to the atmosphere of the exhibition and all the amazing pottery on show.
The stand was busy from start to finish, with plenty of interest in our Skutt kilns and Speedball wheels. We’d like to thank everyone who stopped by, had a chat, or took advantage of our Potfest offers — it was brilliant to see so much enthusiasm for ceramics!
We’d like to thank everyone who visited our stand at Potfest Melton Mowbray 2025. We loved seeing so many new and familiar faces, and we can’t wait to be back next year with even more to share!
