Ceramics and artisanal pottery market in the historic village of Beauronne in Dordogne
About Potiers de Beauronne
The Marché des Potiers de Beauronne is an artisanal event held every August in the village of Beauronne, in the heart of the Double forest in Dordogne. Since 2004, in reference to Beauronne's past as a pottery village (130 potters in the mid-18th century), the commune has organized a potters' market in the alleys around its Romanesque church. Around thirty potters and ceramists exhibit original and varied works: utilitarian pottery, decorative objects, sculptures, contemporary ceramics, enamels, stoneware, and earthenware. Admission is free.

A pottery village since the 18th century
The small village of Beauronne, nestled in the heart of the Double forest in Dordogne, between Mussidan and Ribérac, has a rich history as a pottery village. In the mid-18th century, no fewer than 130 potters practiced their craft there. It is in homage to this ancestral tradition that the commune has been organizing a potters' market in the alleys around its Romanesque church since 2004.
Thirty potters and ceramists exhibit
Each edition brings together around thirty potters and ceramists offering original works in various styles: utilitarian pottery, decorative objects, sculptures, contemporary ceramics, enamels, stoneware, and earthenware. Visitors can admire the diversity of ceramic techniques and artistic expressions.
Activities and demonstrations
The market offers numerous free activities: participatory workshops for children and adults, live demonstrations of shaping, decoration, and glazing by the potters, and the assembly of a Raku kiln on-site. These activities allow the public to discover the gestures and know-how of ceramic art.
