Sheffield Show Report – Wendy Kershaw

Looking back to Sheffield

In the last edition of the magazine we profiled the pioneering work of Steve Booton and his show in Sheffield – Only Clay. It was only the second year, and faced all the uncertainties of Covid restrictions. Featured here are impressions of the two days in September by one of the makers Wendy Kershaw. “Sheffield is a vibrant multicultural city with a great range of food, and for me some good vegan places ! On the last night we went to the wonderful Donna Summer. Lots of eating places very close to Kelham Island Museum.”

”One intrepid potter brought his camper van, and parked it on the outskirts of town, while another group of potters clubbed together and rented a Air B+B, parking it by the venue. The less fortunate were condemned to living room floors” .

“Some makers had cone as far as Scotland and Cornwall.”

“Sheffield itself is very busy and vibrant, lots of students. I can’t say much more, as I was in Kelham Island Museum most of the time” .
