Setting Up day at Eisteddfod July 2011

My pieces came back from the assay office this morning always relieved when they arrive back but also excited to see what the mark looks like on different pieces too .

Once they had arrived and put safely away ready to be finished off later on in the afternoon. We went off to set up the stand at the Eisteddfodd Field.Which is looking fantastic. There were a few Little changes here and there that we made to the stand. But we went away happy and all ready for the opening day on Saturday. Wayne Clark is a ceramist who I am sharing my stand with he specialises in wood fired ceramics. http://www.waynewoodfired.co.uk/
