The Architecture and the ceramics in Mallorca is the monographic theme of the XXXIV Fira del Fang, organized by the City Council of Marratxí and held from March 3 to 11 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 El lloc on és viu by Núria Soley, winner of Premio Benet Mas 2018.
During the fair you will also be able to visit the Museu del Fang, with its traditional ceramics collection and the exhibition with the works selected in the VII International Biennial of Ceramics of Marratxí (BICMA), and the Casa de Cultura s'Escorxador the exhibition Sensations, by the Aragonese ceramist Ana Felipe Royo.
At the XXXIV Fira del Fang will participate a total of 46 potters (36 from Mallorca, 8 from other autonomus communities of the Spanish State, one from Germany and one from Portugal), who in addition to exhibiting their work will do demonstrations for the public.
