Events

learn, explore & shop with us

Each year we run a range of events at our studio. This includes our two markets in May and December every year. Our Mother's Day and Christmas Markets are incredibly popular events. They draw a huge crowd of locals who love and enjoy pottery. Our 2025 Christmas Market was the biggest and most successful to date!! We are already creating pottery for our Mother's Day Market in May 2026!

We also have some wonderful workshops by our local teachers in which where they share their skills with members. 
 
Our studio proudly welcomes and hosts visiting potters who run workshops or master classes for our community. If you are a potter who wish to connect with Townsville potters and share your skills please contact us!
