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.
