Discover Handmade Treasures and Artistic Inspiration in Shoreditch This March
Spring is here, and so is Shoreditch’s most eagerly awaited creative fest—Turning Earth Hoxton’s Spring Market 2025. If you’re on the hunt for that perfect Mother’s Day gift or just fancy treating yourself to something handcrafted and genuinely special, this vibrant ceramics market promises exactly that—and so much more.
Set in the heart of London’s creative hub, this lively market returns on March 22nd and 23rd to bring together artistry, music, mouth-watering food, and community vibes that Shoreditch locals (and beyond) can’t resist.
Unleash Your Inner Collector at Shoreditch’s Ceramics Market
Ceramics lovers, brace yourselves. This isn’t just any weekend market—it’s a celebration of craftsmanship that showcases the incredible work of 80 talented makers (yes, different artists each day!). Expect one-of-a-kind handmade pottery, from elegant mugs to bold sculptural pieces, all brimming with character and creativity.
With Mother’s Day just around the corner, it’s the ideal time to snag something meaningful. Forget supermarket flowers—this is where you find gifts that truly tell a story.
Live Jazz, Local Eats, and a Whole Lot of Vibes
Let’s face it: markets are better with good food and even better music. Luckily, the Turning Earth Hoxton Spring Market doesn’t disappoint.
The weekend will be soundtracked by none other than Jimm from Jazz Cannibals, known for blending everything from jazz and punk to sea shanties and reggae. It’s the perfect playlist for browsing beautiful ceramics or just soaking up that unmistakable Shoreditch buzz.
Feeling peckish? Sourdough Daali will be firing up wood-fired pizzas—think fluffy, crispy, utterly drool-worthy crusts. They’ll also serve up sweet treats like cardamom banana bread and brown butter flapjacks. And for that much-needed caffeine kick (or cheeky Espresso Martini), Climpson & Sons will have you covered.
Pottery Fame Meets Local Talent
The highlight for Sunday shoppers? A meet-and-greet with Victor Ng, one of the breakout stars from The Great Pottery Throw Down. He’ll be showcasing his whimsical vases—and if you’re lucky, sharing behind-the-scenes stories (including that infamous boat explosion disaster!).
Victor’s journey from Canada to Hoxton embodies the spirit of Turning Earth—creativity, passion, and a genuine love for the craft.
And that’s not all. Expect to bump into makers from the East End Trades Guild. These independent artisans will offer everything from handcrafted homewares to unique fashion pieces, each item crafted with heart and precision. Supporting them means backing local talent—and getting your hands on something truly special.
The Legacy of Turning Earth: Shoreditch’s Creative Heartbeat
If you’re unfamiliar with Turning Earth, here’s why this market is more than just a weekend event—it’s a movement. Since opening in Hoxton in 2013, Turning Earth has become a creative sanctuary for London’s pottery community. With studios now in Leyton, Highgate, and their professional incubator In Production, they’ve nurtured a growing network of artists who value craftsmanship over mass production.
The studio channels the spirit of the Arts and Crafts movement, encouraging people to reconnect with the joy of creating rather than mindlessly consuming. Their markets celebrate this ethos—every purchase supports independent artists building meaningful, sustainable livelihoods.
