Woodfired Grande (July 1 – December 16, 2023)

Woodfiring is arguably the most revered and evocative of all pottery traditions, and North Carolina’s woodfiring potters in our humble, completely non-biased, opinion create some of -the- best woodfired pottery. And, what’s better than woodfired pottery? Woodfired Grande pottery!

Featuring a single piece from 25+ potters across our state, our Woodfired Grande show features a wide, diverse sampling of exceptional woodfired craftsmanship. Work that is toasty with hints of chocolate, caramel, and butterscotch and so good you can almost smell the woodsmoke. There’ll likely be even a few Venti and Trenta pieces in the show!

Join us for the show’s opening day on Saturday, July 1, from 10:00-4:00. It will be a soft opening; We’ll have some light refreshments on hand, including coffee, given the show title, natch, but no presentation.

Every piece in this show will be available for purchase and may be taken home immediately if desired. Individuals purchasing pieces will also receive a modest Starbucks gift card – to satisfy any cravings our show and their purchase may have induced.
