"...what an amazing event, a true jewel of Sydney!"

I go every year with my sister-in-law and a friend. We leave the city early so that we can see as many of the studios as possible making a full day of exploration, shopping and viewing of demonstrations. I particularly like the chance to see the workshops and studios that produce some of the exquisite ware that now grace my house and garden and those of the friends who are lucky enough to receive one of my purchases for Christmas!  To catch our breath we always book into one of the local cafes for lunch before continuing on our afternoon trail. The splendid sunsets as we leave the area around 5pm remind us why we’ll be returning next year.
