The event, which has been staged at the junction of High Street and South Street for the past two Saturdays, proved particularly popular this weekend as the rain held off.
Jules Leece, of Apple Tree Craft Fairs, the organiser of the now-weekly event, said: “We're trying to promote the crafts and use the open space here. It brings more people into the city.
“Last Saturday was awful because of the rain but this has been much better.
“It's good because it makes people realise that not everything is made in a sweatshop or imported from China.”
The fair has been especially lucrative for potter Leigh Coombes after she was asked to supply an Exeter gift store with her products.
Her pottery was spotted by Jenny Seaward, owner of Choice Gifts in the Guildhall, who was so impressed, she struck a deal with Somerset-based Leigh to supply her shop.
Leigh said: “She said it was exactly what she had been looking for and I jumped at the chance to supply her shop.”
Jenny said: “I was walking past and saw this pottery stand. I thought: 'Wow'. It was really, really pretty. I had it in my window this weekend and sold two pieces on Saturday morning.”

Exeter Craft Saturdays
Exeter City Council is once again working in conjunction with Apple Tree Craft Fairs, whose recruitment ethos is "Craft Fairs for the Crafters" to bring the visually appealing craft market to Exeter City Centre this Summer. Consisting of approximately 15 stalls, Exeter Craft Saturdays offers the opportunity to come along and watch the crafter while they work, to admire the stunning products on offer, and the chance to buy or commission something just a little bit different and utterly unique!
Operating every Saturday throughout July, the Craft Market is based at the junction of Fore St/ South St (at the bottom end of the High Street) and is visible from the Cathedral so it is easy to find.
To keep you further entertained during your day out at midday a jazz band from Exeter College will be joining the market to provide an additional attraction for music lovers!
Date: 5, 12, 19 & 26 July 2008
Time: 9 a.m. - 5 p.m.
Venue: City Centre
