“Visitors to these events can shop a diverse range of these artists’ original functional and decorative work, such as handmade everyday dishware, elegant ceramic jewelry, sculptural and figurative work inspired by Florida’s flora and fauna, whimsical and practical home and garden decor, and much more,” the event’s website says.

Melody Spence, the event’s organizer, recommends newcomers to come with an open mind and be prepared to see various styles, colors and kinds of pottery.

“Events like this are good for the community and the artists themselves. It gives artists a place to sell and meet people and it gives customers a glimpse into what potters do,” she said.

The annual event, taking place at 5505 Hansel Avenue, is free for guests and food will also be available for purchase.

The market features a range of artists, from professional potters to those just starting out. To learn more about the 34 artists being featured this weekend, click here.
