Farmyard Characters

Golden: Preparing his signature farmyard characters for show, fifth generation potter Jon Barrett-Danes works in his Hampshire studio painting, polishing and firing the ceramic animal sculptures that will accompany him on his 474 mile journey to Scone Palace near Perth this week to participate in Pottfest Scotland, joining nearly one hundred British and European ceramic artists on the 19,000 acre estate close to the river Tay, owned by the Earl of Mansfield.
