Earth and Fire 2010
The Earth and Fire International Ceramics Fair takes place annually at Rufford Country Park on the last weekend in June. This year will be its 16th anniversary.
Over a hundred potters from across the UK and Europe sell direct to the public from market stalls, sited in the Abbey ruins, the cobbled courtyard and the formal grounds. In addition to individual potters stalls there are also a number of trade stands and university stands showing the work of recent graduates plus a full programme of demonstrations and illustrated talks throughout the three days.
Attracting over 7,000 visitors, Earth and Fire showcases the very best in international contemporary studio ceramics.
Entrance to Earth and Fire is free but normal car parking charges apply.
