The International Ceramics Festival is Europe’s premier ceramics festival, held at Aberystwyth Arts Centre on the campus of Aberystwyth University on the mid-Wales coast. Since it began in 1987, this three-day event has grown into one of the UK’s leading ceramics festivals.

The festival brings together teachers, students, ceramic artists, collectors, working potters, amateurs and lovers of craft, offering the chance to meet and study the work of distinguished ceramicists from Wales, the UK and around the world.

Over the course of the weekend, visitors can enjoy lectures, practical demonstrations, special exhibitions and hands-on activities. The event attracts over 1000 attendees and has a strong practical and inspirational focus, with kilns built, pots made and fired, and plenty of opportunities to see techniques up close.
