Canada's largest ceramics exhibition returns for its 37th edition from July 3 to August 16, 2026, in the heart of the village of Val-David. Once again this summer, the gardens of 1001 Pots will be transformed into a unique gathering place where visitors can slow down, connect with artists, and experience the creative process firsthand. Bringing together more than 120 ceramic artists from Québec and beyond, the event promises a rich and inspiring program filled with discoveries and surprises.
Set within an enchanting garden far from the bustle of everyday life, visitors are invited to wander freely among the exhibitors, meet the artisans, watch live demonstrations, and even try working with clay themselves. From functional pottery to sculptural works, intimate sunset concerts, and hands-on workshops for all ages, 1001 Pots is both a celebration of artistic beauty and a space for meaningful human connection.
"What makes 1001 Pots truly irreplaceable is the quality of presence it creates-between people, artists, and the material itself. In a world saturated with information and speed, spending a day in this garden, watching a piece come to life and speaking with the person who made it, is a rare experience," says Sacha Ghadiri, President of 1001 Pots.
