Again, we have a full Carlton Ware-packed event for you this year and look forward to seeing you. We are so pleased with the venue used in the previous two years that we hold it again in Etruria Hall, which is part of The Moat House Hotel.
As with last year, to keep the cost down in these price conscious days, we have booked the venue for one day, instead of two, but for those of you who like to spend the whole weekend in The Potteries and environs, some leisurely Carlton Ware related events are also arranged for Saturday the 9th October.
The price has also been fixed at last years rate of £45 per person, which is fantastic value.
This includes lunch and refreshments throughout the day, and also covers the cost of hiring the room and equipment. Accommodation is not included, so that you could make your own arrangements to suit you pocket. We make this easy for you so you can choose rooms from
£19 to £99. To go to our Accommodation page

Sunday's events will include the following:-
Alison Morgan, Curator of the Dudson Museum gives a talk on "The History of Dudson Pottery", which has interesting parallels with Carlton Ware, particularly around the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
Dudson's is the oldest surviving business in the ceramic tableware industry and has been in production for over 200 years. The original factory boasts a grade two bottle oven which has been converted into an extraordinary museum.

This is preceded with a talk by Sara Broom on "Carltonitis" and after lunch Tony Wood, another avid collector, offers his thoughts about our favourite pottery.
As always, in the afternoon we are joined by former employees, who kindly give up their time for us to chat to about their days at Copeland Street.
Also, don't forget if you have any unusual or interesting Carlton Ware you would like to bring along our experts should be able to tell you about them.
