Fortunately the rain of Friday night and Saturday had cleared away when I visited ClayArt Wales 2008 on the Sunday. I particularly enjoyed watching Doug Fitch, Fergus Stewart and John Stroomer demonstrating their throwing skills and witnessing the opening of the bottle kiln after Saturday's firing.

 

My thanks to everyone concerned, I hope you all had a successful festival.

 

P.S. Doug Fitch has just told me that the guy helping him in his demonstration was Mark Grimmitt, who is Elijah Comfort's great, great, grandson, now that's tradition for you!
