Ceramics Fair in L'Alcora, Castellon

Ceramics Fair in L'Alcora, Castellon

The old part of town of l’Alcora, the two squares Plaza de la Iglesia and Plaza de la Sangre, is the chosen place for holding Artalcora, the 2nd Ceramics Fair of L’Alcora.

From 11am to 2pm in the morning and from 5pm to 10pm in the evening, 40 exhibitors from the Region of Valencia, the rest of the country and Portugal will exhibit their products. Moreover, there will be workshops on the use of the potter’s wheel, modelling and decoration in which to participate  and a potters’ workshop from 19th century will be recreated and Recua Arriera from the 18th century.

Ceramic craftsmen will carry out demonstrations of ceramic modelling, decoration and the use of the potter’s wheel.

There will also be cinema and conferences as well as the musical shows and fireworks displays Tocs de Rakú and Els sons del fang.

L’Alcora is the capital of the district of L'Alcalatén. Nowadays the tile industry is the main production activity of L’Alcora and it is also one of the driving forces of the provincial economy. The strength of the ceramic sector has, amongst many other perspectives, a historical tradition of almost three centuries marked by quality, creativity and technological innovation.
