On Saturday, August 2nd, JETAA Ottawa will be once again taking a day trip to Val-David, Québec to enjoy the 1001 Pots Festival! Check out wares from a variety of different potters as well as enjoy some Japanese sweets right there in the middle of the festival’s grounds!

“Welcoming nearly a hundred Québec artisans each year and offering educational and recreational activities, 1001 Pots is more than an exhibition, it’s the biggest ceramics event in Canada! After more than thirty years at the helm of 1001 Pots, in 2021, Kinya Ishikawa passed the torch to Sacha Ghadiri and Nouchine Dardachti.

Through the exhibition of utilitarian pieces and artistic works of all genres and formats, the presence of artists in residence, the varied demonstrations as well as the musical, poetic, and theatrical performances, the event is a summer must-see in an enchanting setting.”

From the 1001 Pots Website

It is located in Val-David, roughly 2 hours from Ottawa and 70 minutes from Montréal. Admission fees to the event itself will be covered for registered alumni, but transportation space is dependent on carpooling availability. Click here for Eventbrite registration and FAQ!
