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 raffle ticket or making a donation!
The You Can’t Lose Raffle
Literally, if you buy a ticket, you can’t lose; you will get a really nice piece of pottery from one of North Carolina’s talented potters, and you will be helping to support our nonprofit mission of Sharing North Carolina’s Clay Stories, Past and Present.
Tickets may also be purchased by phone at (336) 873-8430, by check, or in person at the NC Pottery Center.
