BEROUN CERAMIC MARKET
http://www.hrncirsketrhy.cz/

In 1997, the idea was born to organize a ceramic market in the mid-Bohemian city of Beroun. The city council of Beroun contacted Mr. Vladimir Izbicky. He already had a great deal of experience working with ceramics markets in other countries, principally the market in the Bavarian town of Diessen.
Beroun has a rich history in the development of ceramics. Archaeological excavations have revealed that since the 14th century, unique ceramic forms have been produced here. The name of this type of ceramic product was "Beroun Ceramics, "and its influence in the 16th century extended far beyond the walls of this royal city.
In September 1997, the first ceramic market occurred in Jan Hus Square in the center of Beroun. At this time, sixty potters from all corners of the Czech Republic visited the town to participate in the market. It was difficult at first to attract the best potters to Beroun. Despite this initial skepticism, and thanks to the continuous promotion of the work, the market quickly became a renowned and popular institution. Today, after ten years, the Beroun ceramics market has become famous throughout the Czech Republic. The country's best potters are eager to subscribe, as well as those from abroad. In this market, it is possible to see high-quality work that would typically only be seen in an art gallery environment. Each year there is a different theme to the market. For example, Pottery And Beer; Pottery And Wine; Pottery And Flowers. In recent years the article has been Pottery And The Garden because the grass in the middle of Beroun Town Square is perfect for a pottery show and competition. The main sponsor of this market is WBB Fuchs, which has supported the competition and the market each year since its inception. The winner is chosen by a jury composed of professors from ceramic and art schools, specialist magazine editors, and Beroun city council representatives. The city council awards a "Golden Gate "annual prize to the three most successful potters. This award is given for exceptional artistic achievement, craft and originality, and the overall presentation of the market stall. The Beroun ceramics market has become a social event and meeting point for thousands of people from local towns, villages, and other parts of the Czech Republic. And, of course, from Prague's capital, a mere 20 km away.
