Led by current members of Sunken Studio, our Potter’s Market celebrates the creativity of fifteen talented makers who shape the heart of our studio community. You’ll find a wide variety of handcrafted ceramics – from functional everyday pottery to one-off artistic pieces – all made right here in Leeds.
Our markets are coordinated by the makers themselves: many first joined through our courses and have since continued to explore clay on their own terms. Some are testing glazes, refining forms, or pursuing ceramics as a slow, affirming side project; others are building small-batch collections. What unites them is a shared enthusiasm for making, and the sense of stewardship and collaboration that Sunken Studio supports.
Markets here reflect that spirit. Expect thoughtful, personal, and often quietly experimental work; pots and pieces shaped with intent, care, and curiosity.
Drop in any time to browse, meet the makers, and soak up the warm, welcoming atmosphere. Whether you’re looking for a gift, adding to your collection, or simply curious about pottery, it’s a wonderful chance to connect with the local ceramics community.
We can’t wait to welcome you.
