Festa de la Ceràmica 2024

The ceramics run along the streets of Manises and during the 13th and 14th of July they will be able to participate in different recreational and festive activities.

As is traditional, the artisans leave the workshops during the weekend and go on the road to show us the process of making ceramic crafts. You will be able to contemplate all kinds of techniques and procedures, such as metal reflex, painting, raku, tornejat, flower realization, vímet or socarrats.

All attendees will be able to pose in practice what they have seen and take home their own creation. The visitor will be able to enjoy different activities and educational workshops for the entire family.

The activities will be guided by expert artisans such as Drac Ceramic, Aliarte, Francisco Mas Tortosa, Porcelanas Mercedes, Encisar-te, Antonia Balastegui Reca, Arturo Mora, Pepe Royo, Rafa Mora, Francisco Álvarez, La Botiga de Gema, Nacho Suministros Cerámicos, Educart , Antonio Cordero Herrera, ANPEC, Taulellet,  EA+SC -Escola d'Art i Superior de Ceràmica de Manises, Cerámicas Viki Rodríguez, Solc de l'Art.
