As many of you know, I run the EBPC solo, to promote potters, and help enthusiasts find great handmade European pots.

The vast majority of work I do is for free. .. Including:

- Organising bonsai pot displays and contests:

Every year, I organise both the Trophy Bonsai Pottery Contest, & the U.K. Bonsai Ceramics Contest. To keep the events fun, inclusive, and about passion, rather than money, I go against the norm and have never charged for registering a submission for the pot exhibition or displaying, or through admission fees.

• • These events takes me weeks of organisation, and as my aim has always been to promote great ceramics and help people learn about pots, I have never charged for them.
  • It has been suggested to me however, that I should create a way for potters or enthusiasts to make a small donation, should they so wish to support this work.
  • So if you would like to support these pot displays, a small donation of £20 or whatever you would like to offer, would be greatly appreciated and can be made here.

Thank you, it is your participation and support that allow me to organise this event.
