POTTERY COLLECTORS'
GUILD

The North Carolina Pottery Collectors' Guild is organized for the purpose of fostering and supporting the folk pottery heritage of North Carolina and the interest of those with affinity for the rich traditions and wares of this industry. The Guild's efforts advance this purpose in numerous ways including: collecting, organizing, and sharing information related to North Carolina potteries, potters, and their wares; identifying knowledgeable persons; documenting collections and research materials associated with North Carolina pottery; encouraging new North Carolina pottery collectors, and expanding the market for North Carolina pottery.

Guild Meetings are held the first Friday of each month with the exception of July and August. A social with light refreshments begins at 7:00 PM with the business session and program following at 7:30. Members are encouraged to bring pieces for identification and show and tell.
