MANSFIELD and District Potters is excited to announce the first ever Mansfield Pottery Festival.
Kicking off the Festival is Mansfield Pottery Market on Saturday of the Labour Day weekend, March 11, 2023 from 10am – 2pm.
The Pottery Market will be set up under the shady trees on the grassed area in the median strip of High Street.
The market will include live music to add to the vibe of the event.
Potters and ceramic artists both local and from other parts of Victoria will set up stalls to showcase their work in this exciting event, a first for Mansfield and North East Victoria.
An initiative of the Mansfield and District Potters Group (or MAD Potters), supported by Mansfield Council and Walker Ceramics, the aim of the festival is to bring the lovers of clay together – those who make and those who appreciate this art form.
"Potters and ceramicists working in clay are invited to have a stall at the Pottery Market," said Committee member, Karen Pirie.
"The cut off for stall applications is Tuesday February 28."
The market will showcase wheel throwing and hand building demonstrations and a free 'clay play' table for the kids to get their hands in the mud.
This is an event for everyone to enjoy.
Stall holder applications can be made by visiting the Mansfield Pottery Festival Instagram page at mansfield_pottery_festival or by calling Karen on 0403 219 188.
