Meet the ceramic artists bringing Chester Ceramics Fair to life.
Every maker has their own way of working with clay. Some throw elegant functional tableware, others hand-build sculptural forms or create richly decorated pieces full of colour and texture.
Browse the profiles below to discover the people, places and stories behind the work.
And if you’d like to get closer to the people behind the pots, we’re also bringing you a programme of additional events alongside the main Chester Ceramics Fair – another chance to meet ceramicists, hear about their work and inspiration, discover more about their creative process and connect with other makers. Explore our Events to see what’s coming up and find out when you can join us.
