The must-see event for contemporary ceramics

Created two years ago as an extension of the pottery heritage of Saint-Jean-de-Fos, an iconic ceramics village in the south of France, the POTERIE MARKET has quickly established itself as a leading cultural and artistic event.

Designed as a meeting place for professional ceramists and the general public, this event celebrates the richness and diversity of contemporary ceramic craftsmanship. It offers visitors the opportunity to discover unique creations, talk to the artisans, and purchase original pieces directly from their creators.

Careful selection for exhibition quality

The POTERIE MARKET is strictly reserved for professionals. Participation is by selection, carried out by a committee composed of experts in the sector. This selection guarantees:

• a balance of techniques and aesthetics
• a diversity of ceramic practices represented
• compliance with the CNC charter and professional exhibition standards

This requirement ensures visitors a high-quality discovery experience and exhibitors a setting that showcases their creations.

Growing success

The first two editions brought together up to 35 professional ceramists from the Occitanie, PACA, and Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes regions.
They have enjoyed growing success, marked by:

• an ever-increasing audience with an appreciation for quality craftsmanship
• a positive economic impact for exhibitors
• an increase in sales over the course of the editions

This momentum confirms the public’s interest in contemporary ceramics and reinforces the ambition to further develop and promote this event.

Enhanced visibility

To ensure wide coverage of the event, a dedicated communication plan has been rolled out:

• Radio partnership with RFM: broadcast of 35 promotional spots
• Advertising at the Marché du Lez: large-format posters, event signage, and banners visible from the road
• Press relations: press releases sent to media partners and coverage in the trade press
• Digital communication: regular posts and stories on Instagram and Facebook

An event dedicated to sharing

The POTERIE MARKET is above all an opportunity to meet, share knowledge, and promote the arts and crafts.
Each edition is designed to offer exhibitors visibility, recognition, and opportunities for development, while allowing the public to immerse themselves in the world of contemporary ceramic art.
