Dorset Team Christmas Fair - Made by Powley


Each week until our Dorset Team Christmas Fair we are meeting a different stallholder who will be at the event. First up is Jan who is based in Bournemouth and runs her shop Made By Powley. 


Jan with some of her creations

Jan sells unique handmade ceramics which are contemporary in style and also incredibly functional and are designed to be used and enjoyed. 

She sells everything from ceramic planters to mugs and bowls.




In Jan's twenties she became a potter and owned a studio and a bricks and mortar shop with her best friend. She changed careers to IT but has returned to pottery a few years ago and this time has decided to set up her shop online as well as selling at events such as our Dorset Team Fair. 




She says ' my pottery style has changed, my shop is now virtual but my passion remains constant! Producing pottery gives me great joy. I hope that the items bring joy to their new owner when they are used daily.'




She says she loves to play with clay and when she is not making, she is thinking about making! 

The Dorset Team Christmas Fair will be on Saturday 1st and Sunday 2nd of December and Jan will be selling on the Sunday. Please pop the date in your diary, it is going to be a really fun, festive weekend with lots of beautiful stalls to browse. 

The fair is taking place at the Allendale Centre in Wimborne from 10am - 4pm each day. Entry is FREE and the fair will be set over two rooms with 60+ stalls each day. 

For more information about the event and sneak previews from our stallholders please see our Facebook event page http://facebook.com/events/1994393970585608/

Meet the Seller - Dorset Team Christmas Fair - Catherine from Catherine Woowat creations




Name: Catherine
Shop Name: Catherine Woowat


Located in: Weymouth

Sells: Ceramic sculptures, hand built vases & textile art.



Maker's Story: I've crafted since I could hold a pair of scissors! At least that's what my Mum said. Since moving to Dorset and joining a ceramics class I've become obsessed with sculpture and all things clay. My unique clay ceramic sculptures capture animals, mice & people/children doing everyday things, as well as hand-built vases with pressed flower and seed head details. I still love textiles too, a life-long interest. I'm inspired by my garden and by the coast that I can see from my studio. I like to use textiles to create wall art in an innovative way. Here's hoping that you enjoy my work too!


Dorset Team Christmas Fair: Catherine will be selling her ceramic and textiles arts at the Dorset Team Christmas Fair on Saturday 3rd December at the Allendale Centre in Wimborne.
Please come along, meet Catherine and our other makers and sellers.

Doors open at 10am and close at 4pm and it is free entry.
