Join us in Centrespace for our ceramics showcase.

This event brings together makers working with clay in its many forms, with work available to purchase alongside demos and creative activities.

You'll be able to browse and buy work by a selection of talented ceramicists, from mugs and bowls to vases and plates, with each maker bringing their own unique style to the form.

We're also delighted that Dundee Ceramics Workshop will be joining us, providing opportunities for you to have a go at decorating some ceramics yourself. Book a place on one of their workshops (details below) and add your own design to a cup or bowl. They'll then fire your creations in their kiln and we'll get in touch to let you know when you can collect them from their workshop. They'll also be displaying and selling work made by their members.
