We are thrilled to announce our upcoming Ceramics Market, a showcase with over 70 different makers over the weekend.
Whether you’re a returning pottery lover or a curious newcomer, the markets offer something for everyone: browse the one-of-a-kind pieces, meet the makers behind the masterpieces, and discover why this mindful craft is so popular in the city.
There will be street food, from freshly baked sourdough pizza to BBQ delicacies and hot dogs. We’ll have festive drinks to warm you up in cold weather, from local craft beer to mulled wine, and barista coffees, or soft drinks if you prefer to keep it chilled. And last but not least, there will be live music to add an extra dose of festive cheer to the atmosphere.
There will be live wheel-throwing demos on all of the four market days, so you can get up close and see lumps of clay transform into beautiful pottery. For anyone who would like to get hands-on involved with clay, there will be drop-in workshops at the Leyton market on the 23rd and 24th of November.
During the Leyton Market, our neighbours will also open their doors for the Argall Ave Open Studios, featuring fine woodwork businesses, a bamboo bicycle maker, and food and drinks from the local Pavilion Bakery and Ha Noi Cafe.
On Sunday 24th November, makers of the East End Trades Guild will also join us to add handcrafted goods other than ceramics.
Each year Turning Earth makers donate special pieces and seconds to raise money for organisations that reflect Turning Earth’s vision of building a community with open arms. This year, we’re supporting the potters and craftspeople affected by the recent hurricanes in the Southeast US through the charity CERF+.
