The free to attend event will showcase the work of 43 ceramic artists including four past Great Pottery Throwdown contestants.

One of the organisers said: "We are ceramicists ourselves. We've been in and around the country doing fairs and exhibitions but always hoped that Stoke would hold its own.

"And if somewhere like Stoke-on-Trent can't hold a ceramic festival, then where can?"
