Herefordshire Art Week

5 – 13 September 2026

It’s that time of year again when artists, sculptors and makers all over Herefordshire throw open their doors to welcome visitors into their studios and creative spaces.

Herefordshire Art Week or h.Art as its also known, has been running for 24 years and we’ve participated a fair old few times including the inaugural event in 2002.

Cover stars

We’re absolutely delighted the steering committee chose Jon’s work to feature on the front cover of this year’s guide. We think you’ll agree ‘Blue Berries’ looks most striking against the vivid pink of the h.Art brand. Good work team! And if one Eastnor Pottery cover story wasn’t enough, Sarah’s wonderful Large Flower Brick has made front page news in ‘Art Share Love’ magazine promoting h.Art.

Sarah will be showing….

Sarah will be exhibiting her playful slipware inspired by nature, ceramic history and the softness of clay.

Cups and bowls are wheel thrown. Flower bricks and press-moulded plates are constructed from soft slabs of terracotta clay. Slips and colourful underglazes are brushed and splattered on the surface building layers of decoration and colour. Sgraffito flowers and abstract motifs are freely etched into the clay, making pieces pleasingly tactile. In a nutshell – she makes little pieces of art for the home, to use and cherish.

Jon will be showing….

Jon will be showing his interactive and decorative one offs constructed entirely from sections made on the potter’s wheel. Some pieces are intended to live outside, others are designed to be handled, shaken, tapped or submersed in water.

Two rocking ceramic snails, one large one small next to each other on a grey table. The background is grey and the snails are a mixture of mottled creams, terracotta and whites. Both have been made by herefordshire studio potter Jon williams

If there was a common thread through both Sarah and Jon’s ceramics it would be the notion of playfulness, both in creation and fired outcome.

h.Art opening hours

We’ll be open daily 10am – 5pm so if you are around, why not drop in for a fresh coffee or brew, we’d love to see you again.

And there’s more….

Two young women sat by a pottery wheel. One is pointing at the two pots in front of them that they have just made. They are laughing together.
