The fair opens at the Watson Arts Centre and Canberra Potters on Thursday and continues until December 23.
Director Richard Thomas said Canberra potters and ceramicists all provided work for the fair, with more people applying to be part of the popular event than space could accommodate.
"It's gaining in popularity every year,'' Mr Thomas said.
"It's definitely a good idea to get in early. I can't say the quality goes down, but the quantity definitely does.''
A range of functional ware, decorative ceramics and jewellery will be available from the local makers, half of whom are new to the fair.
Mr Thomas said the centre took a small commission from sales, with the fair all about supporting Canberra artisans.
"We want to make sure they have their Christmas turkey,'' he said.
Watson Arts Centre at 1 Aspinall Street, Watson. The fair is open daily 10am to 4pm from December 13 to 23.
