Now in its fourth year, the market has become a regular feature of Sydney’s cultural calendar. It was established to showcase the ingenuity and diversity of ceramic practice, and it continues to serve as a meeting point for makers, collectors and the curious.
The two-day event will be held indoors at Carriageworks, the former rail yard turned arts centre on Gadigal land. Visitors will be able to explore a wide range of handmade work, spanning functional tableware through to sculptural pieces.
A market celebrating clay and community
The Sydney Ceramics Market is known for fostering connections between makers and visitors. It offers people the chance to shop directly from local artists while also learning about their processes. Visitors can watch wheel-throwing demonstrations, meet makers, and browse tools and materials to support their own practice.
This year’s roster includes well-known names such as Milly Dent, Simon Reece, Studio Elke, Sooty Ceramics, Everything Flows Studio, Trade The Mark, Vanessa Bean, All Day Clay and Bernadette Huang. Emerging artists will also present new work.
At the entrance, a curated exhibition will display one-off works by 30 Sydney ceramicists, highlighting a variety of techniques and approaches from local artists.
Hands-on experiences are a key part of the program. Clay Sydney will host live wheel-throwing sessions across the weekend, showing how clay is shaped on the wheel. Artist Juz Kitson will introduce her new Porcelain Queen range, which includes clays and artisan brushware. Specialist tools will also be available from Meet Ceramics and local engineers Homespun.
The market is part of Sydney Craft Week, a city-wide festival celebrating handmade work across different mediums. The event reflects the growing public interest in ceramics and gives the community direct access to makers and their creations.
