An annual ritual; tidying the shelves, dusting down the cobwebs (not joking!) sorting hot pots straight from the kiln and earmarking a few bargains to tempt pottery collectors old and new. Not forgetting topping up the fruit and spices for the mulled wine and picking up the clementines and mince pies to keep energy levels up for a busy weekend.

We can’t pretend the studio is a glamorous place, but we put on our best bib and tucker for our annual celebration of the handmade, the individual creativity of a gang of talented and skilled makers (check back to find out who!) and being embedded in the heart of the tiny but big-hearted city of Salisbury. We are under 10 minute’s walk from the train station and two minutes from the Market Square; put us on the calendar and call in for the warmest of welcomes, friendly chat and handmade goodies to delight everyone on your Christmas list.
