Winter Markets 2019

I blinked and, suddenly, it was November. How did that happen?! It seems like just a minute ago I was swearing that I’d definitely never do 5 weekends of markets in row again. But here I am, all booked up and set to tour around Scotland with my ceramics for 5 weekends in a row. I’ve got a great line up of markets this year though, and I’m very excited to have added 2 new design markets in some of Scotland’s leading galleries and museums to the line up alongside returning to some favourites.

I’m fully in the midst of Christmas making now, juggling wholesale orders with making stock for my upcoming events, and I’ve definitely arrived home with clay in my hair (and up my arms, and over my shoes, and stuck to my jeans…) more than once. I promise I’ll be scrubbing up for my public appearances though!

It’s slightly daunting but I can’t wait to get out there and see all your lovely faces, have a chat with shoppers and other makers alike, and hopefully even help you find the perfect gift for someone you love (including yourself!) as Christmas approaches. Nothing makes me happier than pairing someone up with the exact right thing for them or the person they’re buying for and seeing the joy that my work brings to their lives!

This winter you’ll find me at…

I’ll be the lass with the bowl cut and the cackle so swing by and say hello - I love getting to meet people in person and put a face to a name (or an Instagram handle).
