Pop-Up Mug Market 2025 Application

December 12th – December 24th

Our third and final pop-up holiday market will also be limited to plinths, shelves, and small tables within the gallery. The theme for this pop-up is a returning favourite for last-minute gifts: Mug Market! We will consider ceramic mugs in any style, and the work must be original and handmade.

All sales will be facilitated by Homer Watson House & Gallery. We accept debit, credit and cash on site. No online sales. Homer Watson House & Gallery will retain 30% of total sales revenue. Items will be dropped off and picked up for only a short time at the start and end of each show, as we don’t have room to keep art in storage.
