GREAT NEWS:

We have a new facility!

The Village Potters Clay Center at Westgate.

Our new location is 44 Westgate Parkway Asheville 28808

Our clay supply company is still operating out of our temporary warehouse until our new facility opens this summer.

Due to severe damage from Hurricane Helene, our gallery, studios and teaching center are TEMPORARILY closed.

We will reopen at our new location in the summer of 2025.

HOW CAN YOU HELP?

We’ve created a GoFundMe campaign to help cover the costs of rebuilding, replace kilns, and up-fitting our 18,000 sq. ft. new space. If you’re able to support us, any donation—big or small—would make a huge difference as we work to recover.

The Village Potters Clay Center is a vibrant creative community dedicated to the exploration of clay.

Our center includes one of Western North Carolina’s premier galleries, selling fine ceramic art and functional work representing our seven resident potters: Judi Harwood, Julia Mann, Karen Dubois, Katie Meili Messersmith, and Sarah Wells Rolland.

We are excited to announce Maria Andrade Troya is joining us as a resident Village Potters. We will be featuring a story about Maria soon.
