We’re looking for ceramicists to join us for this special Chester Ceramics Fair at The Storyhouse.

Your Exhibitor Space:
The Storyhouse, Chester
Sunday 15th November

Set-up: from 8.30am
Exhibitor fee: £35 (*Special intro price for the first fair)
Space: 6ft x 3ft table
Exhibitor Display: Your own profile will feature on a display board at the fair,
complete with a QR code linking directly to your online Directory listing
Plus, as a Chester Ceramics Fair exhibitor, you'll have the opportunity to take part in our pre-show event - you can display one piece in a special 2-week ceramic display at books on the walls, as well as an invitation to speak at the event evening at books on the walls on Sat 14th November.
We’re aiming to create a friendly, varied and inspiring collection of makers - from established ceramicists to emerging potters and small independent studios. As a Chester-focused ceramics fair, preference will be given to exhibitors based in Chester and the surrounding area, within approximately 25 miles of the city.
There’s no need to have a huge collection of work. We’re interested in good things made by good people, and we want visitors to discover something they didn’t know they were looking for.
