    Stop by The Village Potters and see what we’re building, and check out all our classes, clinics and After-Hours events. Maybe you’ll be building something soon yourself!

     

     

  • October Events at and with The Village Potters!

    The first half of the month has flown by, busy with moving into our new studio spaces, getting the beautiful Gallery open, and planning and setting up the new Teaching Center, and there’s more to come in the coming weeks!  Here’s a little of what we’ve got going on, and we hope you’ll join us!

    The Gallery at The Village Potters
    We’re now open for business, featuring the work of our five Resident Artists plus that of featured artists from around the region.

    Our pages here will be updated soon with photos and bios for all artists, but if you’re in the area, you can visit us Monday – Saturday, from 10am – 6pm and see it all for yourself!

    Southern Highland Craft Guild Fair
    It’s that time of year again, and in addition to preparing for the opening of The Village Potters, some of our Resident Artists have been busily preparing for this much anticipated gathering of fine artists and craftspeople from around the South.  Village Potters Judi Harwood and Cat Jarosz will be exhibiting together at the Asheville Civic Center, October 20-23, be sure to find them!

    Under normal circumstances, you’d also find Village Potter Sarah Wells Rolland at the Guild Craft Fair, but this year she’ll be celebrating the wedding of her daughter that same weekend.  If you’ve been looking forward to finding Sarah’s beautiful work at the Fair, fear not, for you can still find it at the Gallery at The Village Potters!

    We’ll be open that same weekend on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, so make plans to head over to the River Arts District before or after you visit all the fine artists downtown!

  • The Village Potters

    The Village Potters has been a dream for me, Sarah Rolland for years. When a dream moves from hopes and plans and into reality it is a season like no other. George, my husband and I are in that season.
    George is the kind of supportative husband a woman hopes and prays for. When I dream he agrees and then goes bigger. It has always been this way with us. Now in this season he is working long hours after work and weekends to make this amazing Center, The Village Potters a reality. It is an exceptional facility.
    We have a beautiful Gallery exhibiting and selling the work the Village Potters; me, Sarah Rolland, Judi Harwood, Catherine Jarosz, Melanie Robertson, and Lori Theriault. We also will be exhibiting the work of my sister, painter Fleta Monaghan of 310 Art right next door. Several other exceptional Artists; Blazing Shuttles by Kathryn Weber (Fiber), Sondra Dorn (2D Fiber), Jenny Buckner (Painting), Nan Jacobsohn (Sculpture), Barbara Knutson (Pottery) and Shadow May (Sculpture) will be showing in our Gallery as well..
    I hope you will email us to recieve an invitation to our Gala Opening at thevillagepotters@gmail.com
    We are so excited to share our love for life, clay and art with all who come to see us!
