Sharing NC's Clay Stories, Past and Present!
People have long been enchanted by our state’s potters who are able to transform lumps of clay into objects of startling beauty. That beauty and the stories behind it, old and new, are showcased by the nonprofit North Carolina Pottery Center. We all love our venerable folk pottery tradition. Today, contemporary studio artists build on this strong foundation to bring brilliant new clay expressions to light. The Pottery Center reveals the ever-changing tradition of pottery making in our state, changes which reflect the shifting culture of our state and world. You can help support our mission by buying a ticket or making a donation!
