This weekend I'm doing the Great Northern Contemporary Craft Fair - Online Gift Edition. It's a curated online shop window for high quality craft. Newsletter subscribers get an email on Friday morning with a link to the preview event that starts Friday evening from 6pm. Now is the time to subscribe!

@MakersattvMill is THIS SUNDAY! How did that happen? Looking forward to the festive vibes:) Just one more firing to do this year tomorrow. Shout out to @peakpotters for letting me use their kiln as mine had a pre-Christmas fail! Hopefully be bringing most of those kiln-fresh pots with me on Sunday.

NEW EVENT ADDED!!! Manchester's newest food and artisan market in the Campfield Market on Liverpool Rd opened last weekend to bring people back into the beautiful market hall now refurbed. It looks flipping amazing and I am beyond excited to have picked up a stand here this Saturday!

My next in person event is Makers at the Mill Winter Fair, Sunday 30th November. It's a lovely do in the Torr Vale Mill in New Mills' actual canyon, very cool!

The best local craft and food stalls, a great place to get your festive shopping wrapped up (we're ok to make festive puns now right?)

I've got plant pots and planters in @budgardencentre.bsky.social 's container shop!
They're impermeable to water so won't leave marks on your windowsills if you use them for houseplants, and they won't be frost damaged if you use them outside:)

The online edition of Great Northern Events' long-running high end craft fair. Over this weekend a curated listing of 70-ish makers is gathered into one site so you can browse easily, then buy work from our webshops (link in bio). I've made a special selection of thrown and hand-built pieces:)

Next up I'll be at beautiful Pavilion Gardens in Buxton for their Artist and Designer Fair, 8th - 9th November from 10-16:30 both days. I've got fresh new pots from the wood kiln to show, hope to see you there!

Still banging the drum for Manchester Ceramics Fair next weekend! I’ll be bringing fresh spring-y pots:) And really looking forward to seeing all the other potters’ work and having a good old chat (about pots mainly, obsessed much!?)

If you find yourself in MCR on the 15/16th March there’s this fabulous ceramics fair on! 50+ amazing potters and sculptors! Come and see us and chat abt pots:)

This is not about pots. But check my freshly repaired trainers!? So proud:)

I took 2 years out, back to school to learn my craft. Such an amazing experience. Now, I’m working 7 days across 2 freelance jobs & my pottery business. It’s amazing though how even tired and under pressure, I still love this more than anything! No one ever said it would be easy to follow a dream:)

Niche post for wood-kiln geeks. Look how rotten steel goes after 18years under the firebox of a kiln! It’s actually held up pretty well:) New steelwork gone in and just a few more maintenance jobs to do and can have a firing, phew! Wood firing is hard work, but I love it all.

Opening Saturday! Bevere Gallery's Graduate Showcase including some of my very gifted cohort from Clay College. I'll be there to chat about pots;) Excited to see new pots from old friends and work by other new potters I've not yet met.

So… if you are interested in signing up to my newsletter (then thank you) but if you are outside the UK and also on Instagram you can help me test a glitch I am having. Pls try to sign up for my newsletter through link in bio in Instagram @row_hamilton and let me know if it doesn’t work?

Last year was busy and wonderful. I set up my business and started selling my pots! But, am having some trouble with IG blocking international sign ups to my newsletter and need help from anyone who is a) on Instagram and b) outside the UK. If that’s you… 1/2

A day in the life. Collect the wood, saw the wood, split the wood, stack the wood… Also today, process fallen tree and make brash piles for wildlife. Ooph, tired now! Back for more next week. Hopefully I get time to actually make some pots soon!?

Just putting a couple of pictures of me and my pots here while I work out what I’m doing with this new platform! Studio potters of the UK (and everywhere else) I am looking for you!?
