The ICF is a not for profit Limited Company run by North Wales potters, South Wales Potters and Aberystwyth University. Each of the shareholders appoints two directors to organise the festival on their behalf, each of whom provide their services on a voluntary basis.

The ICF is an internationally renowned biennial ceramics event, we are the premier European Ceramic Festival, it is the only Festival to showcase the World’s leading ceramists, kiln firings and lecturers in one place together at the same time.
