Ceramics in times of Ramon Llull is the monographic theme of the XXXII Fira del Fang, organized by the City Council of Marratxí and held from March 5 to 13 at La Veronica of Sant Marçal in Sa Cabaneta.
This is one of the most important fairs of the trade – it was National Prize of Ceramics in 2013 by the Spanish Association of Towns of Ceramics - a must to get to know the work of craftsmen of ceramics not only from Marratxí, where clay is a hallmark but also from the rest of Mallorca and mainland Spain. A unique opportunity to buy all kinds of clay pieces, from kitchen utensils to decorative items, toys or art pieces.
Like every year, two tents will be installed in La Verònica of Sant Marçal in Sa Cabaneta. The biggest hosts the exhibition Ceramics in the time of Ramon Llull, with pieces made by students of the Municipal School of Ceramics as well as a selection of works that have participated in previous editions of the International Biennial of Ceramics of Marratxí (BICMA). Also an exhibition of the winner of Premio Benet Mas.
During the fair you will also be able to visit the Museu del Fang, with its traditional ceramics collection, and at the Casa de Cultura s'Escorxador the interesting exhibition of Pere Català Roig Anagrama, which shows pieces made in a traditional Japanese oven.
At the XXXII Fira del Fang will participate a total of 47 potters, who in addition to exhibiting their work will do demonstrations for the public. It also has a program of activities taking place throughout the nine days of the fair.
