Pottery Art Against a Hanseatic Backdrop
The Stralsund Pottery Market takes place on the Old Market, the historic heart of the Hanseatic city of Stralsund. Surrounded by brick Gothic architecture and gabled houses – the old town of Stralsund is a UNESCO World Heritage site – ceramic artists set up their stalls. The organizer is Cityagentur Christian Schumann.
Diverse Arts and Crafts
The market's offerings are wide-ranging: from traditional house and garden ceramics to functional pottery and porcelain jewelry, decorative bowls, mugs, and vases. Visitors will find both everyday items and artistic individual pieces – each handcrafted.
Craftsmanship to Watch
A highlight of the market is the demonstration of traditional pottery techniques. A pottery workshop, operating in its seventh generation, demonstrates throwing on a foot-powered potter's wheel. Visitors are invited to watch the process and learn more about this ancient craft.
Market in a World Heritage Site
Stralsund is located on the Baltic coast of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern and its old town is a UNESCO World Heritage site. The Pottery Market is part of the Hanseatic city's event highlights and attracts ceramics enthusiasts and guests to the historic city center in midsummer. Admission is free.
