Every year, the Suffolk Show turns up some unexpected gems, and this year certainly did not disappoint.
From delightfully quirky to beautiful and unusual, you never know what you’re going to find when wandering around the Suffolk Show.
One of our favourite stalls was Blue Dragon Ceramics, where we caught up with Ken Wilson.
Mr Wilson had a menagerie of tiny ceramic animals on display, enough to fill a ceramic ark.
It is the business owner's 37th and final Suffolk Show. He was delighted to have secured a prime spot in the tent for he has decided to retire since turning 70.
From tiny ducks to dogs, ghosts and creatures of every kind, passers by were fascinated, particularly children.
Mr Wilson said that some of his inspiration comes from the public, and he tries to create items to suit their tastes, such as the guinea pigs, which he now makes in an even smaller size.
Having perfected his craft, he can now create up to 12 tiny beings an hour – but glazing, firing and adding the finishing touches takes longer.
We also visited Gemmeus, where Nicky Wade-Evans gave us a tutorial in how she crafts her handmade jewellery.
Finally, we met Annie Jackson of Hunts Silverware, who proudly told us that this is her first year of coming to the Suffolk Show.
Hunts Silverware is a family business now in its third generation, and Annie told us that she wouldn’t want to be doing anything else.
We were wowed by her gleaming array of antique silverware, which has been amassed from all over the country across the decades.
