Open Day & Craft Fair
10th October 11am-4pm
To celebrate our 1st year of opening, Daisy Lake Pottery will be holding an Open Day & Craft Fair.
Come along and view our studio and its beautiful surroundings, browse all our ceramics for sale, have a go on a pottery wheel, enjoy a coffee and cake and meet some other local crafters at our 1st Craft Fair.
If you are a local crafter and would like a stall, please email Louie our studio assistant for an application form. Pitches are £15. No indemnity insurance required as we would like to encourage new crafters.
We hope to see as many people as possible to help celebrate our special day.

Once you have made your creation and you are happy with your finished result, you will weigh your piece and leave it for its 1st "bisque firing".
Clay is charged at just £1.50 per 100gm. Only your finished piece needs to be weighed and paid for. Only clay that is paid for can be fired.
If you want to come back to finish your piece it can be stored in a damp box for up to 6 weeks.
You can then book another open session to glaze your piece ready for its 2nd firing.
Its up to you when you choose to come back. There are no set dates or times like most other pottery studios.
