Ceramics Fair (Fiera della Ceramica)

One of our favorite annual events in Florence is the Fiera della Ceramica (ceramics fair).

Historically this event was held in Piazza Santissima Annunziata, but in 2023 the event was moved to Piazza Santa Croce. This year's event will take place on the first weekend of October, the 4th and 5th. The event is organized by the Arte della Ceramica, and you can find additional information on their website.

It is a wonderful market with so much unique work by a wide variety of European ceramists, with many of the artisans coming from France and Germany to join their Italian colleagues. There are typically local food vendors and some form of entertainment during the weekend, as well as organized activities for children. Highly recommended!

Below are some photos from the event in prior years.

I have highlighted the work of German ceramicist Heiner Bauer above. Heiner was one of my favorite artists at this event and I always looked forward to chatting with him year after year. Unfortunately he passed away sometime in 2012.

These bowls were by another favorite artist but I don't have their name! We actually have a set of plates in the same design.

Here is a short video of the event from prior years:

Piazza Santa Croce should be a great venue for this event:
