The Exclusively Show’s ever-popular Brand Showcase feature, where media and influencers gather to see a curated edit of highlights from the main show, will include live potting demonstrations courtesy of Denby.
Denby Thrower Sean Flint will be showing off the traditional craft of creating pottery by ‘throwing’ on a potter’s wheel. He will be using the Derbyshire clay which has been used to make Denby’s stoneware pottery for more than 200 years.
Denby’s craftspeople still follow many traditional hand-crafting techniques, with each piece passing through at least 20 pairs of hands before it gets the Denby stamp of approval. The stoneware is durable enough to allow for collections to be grown over time, and beautiful enough to be mixed with existing ranges. The brand’s versatile ceramic pieces are a conscious interiors choice for a more sustainable lifestyle, both in the kitchen and around the home.
Sean works on production pieces, trains new potters and gives visitors to Denby Pottery Village the opportunity to try their hand on a potter’s wheel. He is currently throwing some large vases such as the new Kiln Green vase (pictured).
Exclusively marketing director Steve Richardson commented: “The Brand Showcase is always hugely popular, and this amazing opportunity to see the skills and craftsmanship which go into Denby products will be an added draw.”
Exclusively regularly has over 140 companies and 300 brands participating and attracts leading UK buyers in the categories it represents: gifts, housewares, and small domestic electricals. The event takes place on June 13 and June 14 at the Business Design Centre in London.
