Art in Clay – potter’s markets.
Jeremy James will be exhibiting at Art in Clay.
Summer is approaching and so are the potters markets!
The potter’s markets I’ve been to have been held outdoors in often beautiful surroundings. Hundereds of professional potter’s from all over the world show and sell their work and it’s not unusual that you can see how a pot is made. Here are a few of the major European potter’s markets. Enjoy!
Anima Roos will be at Swalmen potter’s market.
26-28th May is Potfest in Scotland. Potfest was founded by Christine and Geoff Cox and has since then grown to include five events in the UK, spread over spring and summer – see their website for information about the dates.
4-5th June Swalmen in Holland.
Virginia Graham will be exhibiting at Potfest in the Park.
10-11th June Enfanga’t in Spain.
13-16th July Art in Action in the UK.
Peter Beard will be exhibiting at Enfanga’t.
4-6th August Art in Clay is held in the grounds of Hatfield House in the UK.
16-17th September Keramisto in Holland.
Rita de Nigris and Martin Kröger will be at Keramisto.
Do you know of any other noteworthy markets that I should mention in future posts? Please email me!

Hi Karin-
Thanks for this post about potters fairs. Well, there are NO potters fairs in the US that I know of, accept for 2 studio tours which were held in early May. I’ll keep an eye out for others, but lament there seems a lack of focus on pottery here in the US. Hmmm… I know there are tons of wonderful potters and artists working in clay, wonder what that’s all about? The shows here tend to mix it up, mixing other artforms, making for some huge shows. I like the idea of this kind of focus, possibly smaller shows.
