Visitors can attend demonstrations, take part in courses and workshops, see musical and live art performances, and take a walk in the site’s garden.

 

Highlights of this year’s program include the Ball of Fireflies, the kickoff event where candles illuminate the site, accompanied by background music; Empty Bowls, where several ceramists make bowls then decorated by the public and sold in September during Val-David Market; and jazz afternoon, with jazz tunes complementing the market every weekend.

Visitors will also enjoy the Ikebana workshop, where visitors can delve into this type of Japanese floral art featuring a decorative natural structure with clean lines and a spiritual connotation. 1001 Pots also includes an outdoor film projection film by Bruno Boulianne on the ceramic artist Jean-Pierre Larocque. A discussion with the ceramist and director follows the screening. Tenor Nils Brown will also appear at the market to perform the greatest classic arias of 19th-century Neapolitan songs.
