Chester Ceramics Fair was created with one simple aim: to celebrate the incredible ceramic talent on our doorstep.

Across Cheshire and the surrounding counties, there are so many talented potters creating beautiful handmade work, yet opportunities to showcase it are surprisingly few. They wanted to create a dedicated ceramics event in Chester where local and regional makers could take centre stage, meet new audiences and share the stories behind their work.

There are some wonderful ceramics festivals and craft markets across the UK, but Chester Ceramics Fair is a celebration of one craft in all its forms. From functional mugs and bowls to sculptural pieces, colourful glazes and experimental surfaces, every maker brings something different – and that’s exactly what makes clay so exciting.

Check out the website for other events happening at this time including an Evening with the Makers on Sat 14th at 6pm and Books on the Walls and The Clay Trail where you can visit a local pottery studio during the weekend.
