Canberra Potters Fired Up

After a flaming success the next Fired Up at Canberra Potters will be in August 2026.  Fired Up is a annual winter pottery festival celebrating Canberra’s ceramics community.

Canberra Postters love sharing the power of pottery, which helps build resilience and promote the health and wellbeing of our community.  

The Fired Up one day festival exhibits a rich and diverse event with multiple facets for audience engagement. Visitors will have the opportunity to engage in pre-booked user experiences such as our ever-popular “Have a Go, Have a Throw” event where visitors get to try making objects on the pottery wheel, or through our “Raku Firing” where visitors are able to glaze pre-made ceramic sculptures and watch them get fired in the raku kilns right in front of them! 

Our resident artists will throw open their studios and welcome visitors into the makers world and offer opportunity to purchase original artwork directly from the maker. In addition our Market and Retail Shop will be offering an array of ceramic wares, jewellery and decorative items created by some of the region’s best known ceramic artists. Come and connect with us through clay at Canberra Potters.
