with pottery we usually refer to useful household items items like mugs, plates, vases, bowls which are made from ceramic material. The term ceramics includes pottery, but also non-functional items and it can include any artifacts made from ceramic material - including dental inlays or insulators, semiconductors or even building materials like bricks or roof tiles. While the origin of the word ceramics was pretty much the same as pottery it has come to include a much wider range of products.

Difference Between Ceramics And Pottery
Ceramics is a more general term than pottery. Pottery refers to using clay to make usually useful things. Ceramics includes pottery, but also ceramic inlays for teeth, ceramic knifes, ceramic tiles are used in space ships to protect from heat and so on. As far as your art fair is concerned I would assume that they have pottery refer to useful items like plates, mugs, vases and so on and ceramics refer to more sculptural items which have a mainly decorative value like a clay sculpture of a human or an animal. If you are not sure phone the organizers and ask them. That's perfectly OK to do.
