When can you see the artists working?
We host Pottery and Glass Festivals on the first two weekends of April and October each year. During these weekends our studio artists as well as visiting artists demonstrate, explain the process and answer questions about their craft.
Throughout the year, our on-site studio artists may or may not be working on any particular day, as they create their schedules. Please understand that they make a living at their craft and need to focus uninterrupted in their studios. When they are working, you are welcome to watch them through the windows, but please note that they may not be able to stop and answer questions.
Is there somewhere to eat nearby?
The closest restaurants are in Butner, Creedmoor, and Durham. You are welcome to bring a picnic and eat at one of the tables on the grounds.
Can I bring my pet?
Pets are not allowed inside the gallery. On the grounds, they must be leashed, and you are responsible for cleaning up after them. We ask that you respect that not everyone is comfortable around dogs.
Are the items for sale in the gallery also available for sale online?
The selection of fine craft available on our website is a small sampling of what you will find when you visit the gallery. It is not possible to include everything in the online gallery.
If there is an artist that you are interested in that you don’t find online, or if you wish to see a larger selection of someone’s work than what is featured on our website, please reach out to us. We are real people who are dedicated lovers of fine craft, and we will be delighted to share more of what’s available in the gallery.
If something is offered online, will I be able to find it at the gallery as well?
We strive to keep all items offered online in stock in the gallery. If there is something available online that you cannot find in the gallery, please ask. You can also order items online for pickup at the gallery.
Do you offer classes?
We don’t offer any classes. Each studio is a private studio and not equipped for classes.
How do I have my work exhibited in the gallery?
If you are interested in having your body of work considered for the gallery, please check out the Artist Submission Guidelines for specifics on how to have your work considered.
