Ickworth Park House and Gardens is a National Trust property located in Horringer, a couple of miles south west of Bury St.Edmunds on the A143 in Suffolk (IP29 5QE). You can find more information about it on the National Trust web site.
The wood sale started as a way to sell trees cut from the Ickworth Parkland estate. Although it still serves this purpose, it has grown so that now the event draws over 5000 visitors to buy a range of crafts and to see craft demonstrations.
Last year a few individual members were showing their work at Ickworth but this year 16 Anglian Potters will be showing their work either in our dedicated marquee or outside on their own stands. Alongside the sale of work we will have a Raku demonstration area.
For those who haven't seen it, Raku is an exciting process that involves red hot pots, flames and smoke. Results are almost instant.
