MANCHESTER – Studio 550 is hosting its annual Handmade Holiday Market of pottery and glass art from December 16-23 from 12-8PM each day. (The market is closed on Sunday Dec 22nd.) All work was locally made by studio members and staff. There will be two rooms full of handmade shopping available with the work of over 25 makers on display.

Find handmade mugs, bowls, ornaments, and serving ware for your centerpiece entrees and appetizers! This will be a great place to find last-minute gifts, unique and one-of-a-kind items, pottery for your table, and housewarming gifts.

Cups for a Cause

The members and staff of Studio 550 have created 65 cups and mugs to raise funds for the International Institute of New England. This organization creates opportunities and provides resources for New Americans making their transition to a new life right here in our neighborhood.

These cups and mugs will be in a separate display, so shoppers know where to find them. Mugs will be sold for $25 each. All proceeds will be donated!

Art in the Street

It may be cold, but keep your eyes open! The week of the market, there will be mini-mugs and handmade ceramic ornaments hidden downtown. Find art out in the wild, show it to us during market hours and win a prize! All the minis were created by makers selling work at the Market. If you liked the mini version, you’re going to love the normal-sized pots.
