Our Indoor Merchants

From Tuesday to Sunday South Hall Market buzzes with activity as our indoor merchants sell the finest meats, poultry, seafood, produce, pasta, baked goods, flowers, and cheeses.

Below is the directory of all of our merchants:


Eastern Market Pottery

Eastern Market Pottery has offered classes in pottery making on Capitol Hill since 1968. Our small and informal classes provide a relaxed atmosphere for learning, making pottery, and making new friends. That’s why our tagline is Pottery-Making-Community! Visit our website www.easternmarketpottery.com for information on class times, tuition and availability.

Visit our studio showroom to shop for fine stoneware pottery made by resident potters and instructors Ellen Jaffe, Susan Jacobs, Lynn Murphy, and Sarah Buffaloe (pictured). Our handmade items are dishwasher and microwave safe for everyday use and make great gifts.

Eastern Market Pottery is located down the staircase at the Seventh & C Street corner of Eastern Market. Open every Saturday and Sunday from 10 am to 5 pm and at other times on weekdays when the stairwell gate is open.
