Celebrating three decades of excellence, the Oxford Ceramics Fair proudly marks its 30th annual event – and its 25th year hosted at the beautiful St Edward’s School campus in Oxford.

This year’s fair will once again offer a thoughtfully balanced mix of emerging talent and established artists, delighting a discerning audience with exceptional work. Alongside the main exhibition, enjoy an engaging programme of talks and demonstrations that enrich the experience.
To ensure a comfortable visit, tickets are issued for entry either before or after 1pm, with unlimited time to explore once inside.

To celebrate our Anniversary we are having a Celebratory Raffle to be drawn at 4.30pm on Saturday 25th.
We have many wonderful 'tea-related' prizes including this gorgeous John Jelfs teapot, and Dylan and Jane Bowen have donated an extraordinary prize of a free place on their Slipware course in July 2026!

Oxford Kilns bring together makers, students, and researchers to fire, learn, and experiment side by side. Each firing is a shared investigation — of flame, material, form, and process — creating space for skill-building, conversation, and collective discovery. The site is both a working kiln field and a lively community of practice, open to anyone curious about what can be made, learned, and understood through the fire.
They will be firing over the weekend of the fair – the fastfire will still be going until about 8pm in the evening on the Saturday. More info @oxfordkilns

Unfortunately Ruth King has had to withdraw from the fair but Sarah Villeneau has agreed to take her place at the last minute.
Sarah creates biologically inspired semi-abstract visceral sculpture in ceramics and mixed media. She enjoys the playful juxtaposition of different materials and often includes an interactive element in her work. You will find her on Stand 33 in The Olivier Hall.
