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.
There will also be an amazing range of food, drink and live music across two music stages to complement your day.
The events are organised by Craft In Focus in partnership with Waterperry Gardens. Craft In Focus have been staging contemporary mixed discipline craft events for 25 years. 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.
Exhibitors who are shown in the listings with this icon will be demonstrating on their stands at various times of the day throughout the event.
There will also be a Wheel Demonstration & Workshop by Princess Fingall, who will be demonstrating techniques involved in creating pottery on a wheel as well as offering tips and guidance. Some of her work will also be for sale.
Clay Time will present a Raku Demonstration showing a variety of raku techniques.
Thrown ceramic in porcelain and black stoneware. The inspiration for my work comes from the beautiful curves of the female form as well as the nature around us. I work in a soft muted colour palette to achieve a sleek and elegant Scandinavian simplicity.
