More than 60 ceramic artists and makers from across the UK will showcase their work at Gladstone Pottery Museum this December as its popular Ceramic Makers Market returns for a fourth year.

Taking place on Saturday 12 and Sunday 13 December, the free event will give visitors the opportunity to meet makers, discover unique handmade pieces and buy directly from some of the industry’s most talented artists.

Among those confirmed for this year’s market are familiar faces from The Great Pottery Throw Down, including Series 9 contestants Bill Rolls and Elham Hessavi.

Admission is free and the event offers an opportunity to discover the creativity and craftsmanship of contemporary ceramics, with a wide range of makers travelling from across the country to take part.

Visitors will also be able to explore the rest of Gladstone Pottery Museum free of charge during the event.

The Ceramic Makers Market takes place from 11am to 4pm on both days at Gladstone Pottery Museum in Longton, Stoke-on-Trent.
