Free ceramic market with more than 60 artists and makers from across the UK, including former contestants from The Great Pottery Throw Down, at the Gladstone Pottery Museum.
The Ceramic Makers Market returns to Gladstone Pottery Museum on Saturday 12 and Sunday 13 December, running from 11am to 4pm both days. It's the fourth year the market has come to the museum, and it's one of the city council's most popular events. The whole point is to celebrate the ceramics industry that made Stoke-on-Trent famous across the world, and it gives you the chance to buy work directly from the makers themselves.
There are more than 60 ceramic artists and makers coming from across the UK. Among them are former contestants from Channel 4's The Great Pottery Throw Down, like Bill Rolls and Elham Hessavi, alongside local makers from around the city. With that many stalls, you'll find a wide range of styles and pieces in one place, and you can chat with the people who actually made them.
There's also a bit of a bonus to the timing. The museum is normally closed to the public between 26 October and 2 January, so the market is one of the few times you can get inside and explore its historic collections and buildings during the winter closure. If you've never been, it's a good excuse to see the place when it's usually shut.
