An annual tradition in Madrid
Every year for 42 years, faithful to their appointment in San Isidro, potters and ceramists from all over Spain gather in the heart of Madrid to celebrate the Ceramics Fair. For five days, the Plaza de las Comendadoras in the Malasaña neighborhood is filled with jars, jugs, plates, fountains and other unique objects.
A sample of art and tradition
The Ceramic Fair offers visitors the opportunity to explore a wide variety of ceramic pieces, from household utensils to decorative works of art. Each piece displayed reflects years of tradition and craftsmanship. In addition, this year the thematic exhibition ‘Ceramics at the service of gastronomy’ stands out, which merges tradition and avant-garde in the kitchen and the table.
An event for everyone
The Chinaware Fair will be open from 10:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., on May 11, 12, 13, 14, and 15. Dozens of artisans will be present to display and sell their pieces. This fair is part of the official program of the Madrid City Council and coincides with the San Isidro 2024 festivities.
Free exhibitions, demonstrations and workshops
The Ceramic Fair is not only a place to buy and admire ceramics, but also a space to learn about the creative process and the integration of ceramics into everyday life. During the five days of the fair, potters will perform live demonstrations of wheeling and painting pieces. In addition, free introductory pottery workshops will be offered for children, taught by master potters.
Finally, the thematic exhibition ‘Ceramics at the service of gastronomy. Tradition and avant-garde united on the table’ will show various pieces related to the culinary use of ceramics, coming from the workshops participating in the fair.
