Only Clay- 4th & 5th October 2025



Only Clay Festival is back for 2025, and we’ll be there! Join the Cromartie team at this fantastic two-day celebration of all things ceramics, held in the historic upper hall of the Kelham Island Industrial Museum in Sheffield.

We’ll be bringing a specially selected range of kilns, potters' wheels, glazes, underglazes, tools, and machinery—including exclusive on-stand discounts available only during the show. Whether you’re upgrading your studio, exploring new materials, or just want to chat with our team, it’s the perfect opportunity to get hands-on advice and great deals.
