The Western North Carolina Pottery Festival is held at Sylva Bridge Park in Sylva (88 Railroad Avenue). This juried show with 40 master potters from 16 states has been named one of the Southeast's top 20 arts events for November by the Southeast Tourism Society. It's located about 50 miles west of Asheville.
A must for aficionados of pottery, this festival features some of the best handmade pottery in the country, ranging from glazed sculptural tree forms to mixed media pottery made of clay, reed, and wood. In this juried event, potters compete for these coveted slots.
Admission to the WNC Pottery Festival is $5 per person and includes a ticket for a day-long raffle. Children under 12 are admitted free. Hours are 10 AM until 4 PM, rain or shine.
