Melbourne Ceramics Market Summer 2017

Overview

If you're the kind of market-goer who beelines immediately for the ceramics stall at your local makers market — and dreams of Patrick Swayze's ghost every time your hands hit the potter's wheel — then do we have just the ticket for you.

After launching in August, Melbourne's ceramics-only market is holding a summer event in Collingwood. Taking place over the weekend of November 25 (10am-6pm) and 26 (10am-4pm), Melbourne Ceramics Market, or MCM, costs a gold coin to enter, showcasing handcrafted creations from over 55 different ceramicists. You can expect unique pieces (with bespoke being ever the watchword in editorial).

And, if you're big into the clay world, you may have already heard of the two founders, who are ceramic artists themselves. Daisy Cooper of Daisy Cooper Ceramics and Tina Thorburn of Clay by Tina are running the market to create a retail space for other artists to sell their pieces directly to the public. You'll also find coffee trucks, doughnut stalls and plants from Fitzroy Nursery to help fuel your ceramics-buying rampage.
