Art-lovers, ceramic-connoisseurs, and… pretty much anybody that enjoys spending their weekends gawping at gorgeous things, listen up. A huge fair dedicated entirely to ceramic art is returning to the capital city next weekend – and it looks like it’s going to be bigger and better than ever.
Set to, once again, descend upon the West Hall at Olympia London; Ceramic Art London offers an unparalleled platform for ceramic art – and will be bursting at the seams with creativity and craftmanship. The annual fair is organised by the Craft Potters Association of Great Britain (the national body that represents ceramic artists in the UK), and welcomes around 6000 visitors from across the globe each year.

This year, Ceramic Art London will showcase the work of over 120 exhibitors and makers. From functional everyday items to stunning decorative pieces and thought-provoking creations; the event is sure to have something for everybody to enjoy. Whether you’re in the market for something striking to hang on your wall, something beautiful to drink your daily cuppa from, or something gorgeous to gift a loved one; you’re almost guaranteed to find it here.
Alongside the plethora of pottery to peruse, visitors can also expect to find a jam-packed schedule of talks and workshops taking place across the weekend. Talks span a whole host of subjects from history and storytelling to identity and feminism. Tickets include access to the talks, but seats are available on a first come, first served basis. And so we’d recommend planning which ones you’d like to attend in advance.
Ceramic Art London will be taking place at Olympia London from May 9 to May 11. Find out more and book your tickets here.
