ONLY CLAY IS A CERAMICS FAIR IN THE HEART OF SHEFFIELD'S INDUSTRIAL PAST
4th - 5TH OCTOBER 2025
Featured Artists, Eddie and Margret Curtis had these wonderful words to share about Only Clay:
"We had a successful weekend - enhanced by the atmosphere created by the Only Clay team. Kelham Island Museum, as a venue, is quite special, and the neighbourhood is a vibrant environment of modern meeting old - pretty much what our ceramic community needs.
I want this show to carry on, develop, and be a landmark event that is so much required in areas of youthful development like Kelham Island. If we are to continue trying to bring our ceramics to a wider public, our 'incursions' into urban spaces, I think, are a vital strategy and worth our continued effort."
Eddie and Margaret Curtis

MEET THE POTTERS
Getting together with Friends, old and new, is at the heart of Only Clay and life as a Potter. This year, we're proud to be partnering with The Mill Owners as the venue for our After Show Party. Open to the Public and Exhibitors alike, there will be Live Music and plenty of opportunities to chat about our shared love of Ceramics!
ON THE DOORSTEP
It's not all about Clay either, there's loads to do right on the doorstep of Kelham Island Museum. Why not make a Weekend of it?
