Oxford Kilns bring together makers, students, and researchers to fire, learn, and experiment side by side. Each firing is a shared investigation — of flame, material, form, and process — creating space for skill-building, conversation, and collective discovery. The site is both a working kiln field and a lively community of practice, open to anyone curious about what can be made, learned, and understood through the fire.
They will be firing over the weekend of the fair – the fastfire will still be going until about 8pm in the evening on the Saturday. More info @oxfordkilns

Unfortunately Ruth King has had to withdraw from the fair but Sarah Villeneau has agreed to take her place at the last minute.
Sarah creates biologically inspired semi-abstract visceral sculpture in ceramics and mixed media. She enjoys the playful juxtaposition of different materials and often includes an interactive element in her work. You will find her on Stand 33 in The Olivier Hall.
