Celebrating Ceramics is an artist led event, showcasing the very best in the world of contemporary ceramics set against the backdrop of Waterperry House and Gardens.

Embrace the opportunity to meet, engage with and purchase from 140 diverse ceramic exhibitors some of whom will be demonstrating on their stands to give visitors an insight into the skills involved in working with clay.

Celebrating Ceramics will be held alongside a Desire Jewellery & Silversmithing Fair featuring a diverse selection of contemporary UK jewellers and silversmiths and one ticket gives admission to both events.

Part of the organising team includes the curator of the ceramics section of Art in Action for 26 years who has a real passion for ceramics and wanted to keep the festival ethos of Art In Action at the heart of Celebrating Ceramics.
