About the Christmas Market 2021

Posted on December 10, 2021December 10, 2021 by Michael

Christmas Pottery Market was held on Sunday 5^th December 2021. The weather was perfect and many visitors came out to find their love pieces. What will be better to see the stallholders’ smiles from good sales results?!

“This was my third time as a stallholder at the CPA Christmas market and I had a great time chatting with other potters and people interested in pottery. It was fantastic to meet people of all ages who are enthusiastic about handmade local pottery and hopefully a few of them are inspired to sign up for a class and make some of their own! A big thank you to the other stallholders and the organizer that made the market a success!” ~ Meredith Leutzinger
