Potaholic
A fascinating evening with the BBC’s Antiques Roadshow’s much loved ‘Potaholic’, Henry Sandon. Finding old pottery in his garden sparked the passion that has since ruled his life. A friendship with Arthur Negus led to his early appearance on television in such programmes as Going for a Song, Collectors World and Arthur Negus Enjoys, which blossomed into the enormously popular series of The Antiques Roadshow, now in its 21st year. His most famous discovery in that time was Ozzie the slipware owl, which now resides in Stoke on Trent Museum and is greatly admired. He has also appeared many times on the Great Antiques Hunt and presented a number of the long running B.B.C. series Songs of Praise which has made his face and voice well known and led to the making of a Toby Jug depicting him by a Staffordshire pottery as they said he looked like one. He remains a simple potaholic at heart. You are invited to bring ceramics in for Henry to analyse while he delights you with witty anecdotes from a lifetime’s experience. So now’s your chance to have an expert opinion on your pottery, china or whatever!
