Fuchs will also lecture on the loan exhibit at noon on Saturday.

The 40-exhibitor ceramics fair features a stalwart group of regularly returning galleries comprising leading porcelain, pottery, glass and export dealers in Europe and the United States.

Among the fair’s regulars are Cohen & Cohen, Sampson and Horne, Sylvia Powell, Garry Atkins, Roderick Jellico, Santos, Mark J.
