The Best Pottery Markets in London for Ceramics Lovers

If you're genuinely into pottery — not just the odd class, but the whole world of makers, markets and small studios — London has a proper circuit worth knowing about. Here's where to go.

Independent Ceramics Market

This is where you'll find us. Doppiocotto sells at the Independent Ceramics Market, London's best-known recurring pottery market, held at Copeland Park in Peckham. Editions regularly bring together over 150 ceramicists — from current students to established studios — selling everything from cups and plates to sculpture. Entry is a couple of pounds, and it's genuinely one of the best places in London to see the range of what British studio ceramics looks like right now, all in one room.

Crafty Fox Market

A curated craft market held at venues including King's Cross, with a strong ceramics presence alongside other UK-made craft. More tightly curated than an open-submission market, which tends to mean a consistently high standard of work.

Made London

A more design-led contemporary craft fair, with around 120 exhibitors working across disciplines including ceramics. Selected designer-makers only — a good place to see where studio ceramics meets contemporary design.

Greenwich Market

A historic, permanent covered market in SE London with a long-standing community of ceramics and stoneware traders. Worth combining with a walk around Greenwich itself — less of a one-off event, more somewhere you can drop into regularly.

Sunday Upmarket

A bimonthly handmade market bringing together around 50 independent stallholders, ceramics included alongside jewellery and other homewares. A good, casual way to see a broad mix of London-based makers.

Why Markets Are Worth Seeking Out

Buying directly from a market stall means talking to the person who actually made the piece — asking about the clay, the glaze, how long it took. It's a genuinely different experience from browsing online, and it's usually the best way to discover new studios before they're well known.

Prefer to Make Your Own?

If markets have you wanting to try pottery yourself rather than just collect it, our pottery classes in Waterloo are a good place to start — no experience needed.
