Our Mission: Cowee Pottery School is a nonprofit organization located in the historic Cowee School Arts and Heritage Center in the mountains of beautiful Franklin, North Carolina. We are run by a group of dedicatedvolunteers who specialize in teaching people of all ages the enriching art of pottery.

At the Cowee Pottery School, our mission is to cultivate creativity, craftsmanship, and community through the art of pottery. We are committed to offering affordable and accessible classes, ensuring that everyone in our community has the opportunity to explore their artistic potential.

We foster an environment where students of all ages and skill levels can develop technical expertise, express themselves creatively, and connect with others who share a passion for ceramic arts. Through hands-on learning,
we inspire a deep appreciation for the tradition of pottery while encouraging innovation and self-expression.
 

Our goal is to empower individuals to shape not only clay but also meaningful experiences and lasting connections
within an inclusive, friendly and welcoming community.
