Calling all Canberra Potters Members! Are you ready to showcase your creativity and craftsmanship at the Canberra Potters Christmas Fair?

Join us in our gallery this December, where your unique ceramic art and pottery can shine in front of a dedicated audience of holiday shoppers. At our Christmas Fair, you’ll have the perfect opportunity to sell your work in a low-pressure environment to customers looking for special and locally-made gifts.

Why choose our fair? Well, the Christmas Fair is run a little bit differently to other markets: instead of staffing your own stall, Canberra Potters supervise the market and process all transactions through the Canberra Potters POS system. As such, we keep the participation fee down to $80.00 and retain a 30% commission (70% goes directly to the artist) on all items sold. This means that if you’re not too confident with markets yet but want to see how your work sells, or if you’re too busy in the lead up to Christmas to commit your precious weekends to selling, we’re the market for you! We also have a strong reputation and a loyal following of shoppers who trust us for their holiday gift shopping, so you’re sure to sell.

All members of Canberra Potters are invited to apply to be part of the magic of the holiday season. Your handmade ceramics could be the perfect gift someone is searching for!
