Celebrating Ceramics - Open Call

Celebrating Ceramics is an artist led event, showcasing the very best in the world of contemporary ceramics. This fine selection of artistic talent is set against the backdrop of Waterperry House and Gardens. Understand the creative talent first-hand with demonstrations from some of the artists. Meet and purchase directly from 150 of the leading ceramic artists. There will also be an amazing range of food, drink and music to complement your day.

Celebrating Ceramics is organised, in partnership with Waterperry Gardens, by Craft In Focus who have been staging contemporary mixed discipline craft events for over 20 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. The public can now expect an event with the same atmosphere as Art In Action and a loyal following of ceramic artists who want to demonstrate and meet their collecting public at this wonderful three day event.

Launched in 2019 to an audience who were simply overwhelmed by the quality and diversity of the ceramics presented, the show has quickly increased in popularity. With our 2021 to 2023 events growing from strength to strength, Celebrating Ceramics has made its mark on the industry and has a very exciting future as we continue to add to, and improve the event year on year.
