Welcome to BJ Berlo, Colorful Fiber Artist!

Port City Pottery & Fine Crafts welcomes a new artist to our midst!  BJ Berlo recently relocated to Wilmington from FL, where she met with great success in marketing her "Benderz" and other fabric artwork: jewelry, journals, bags, jackets, etc.

Her work is now available in our gallery, and she will be present tonight at Fourth Friday Gallery Night!  Here is a preview!

 

 

DORY MAIER - Featured Artist

Port City Pottery & Fine Crafts' next featured artist is Dory Maier, gourd and basket artist.  Dory has had two of her outstanding Teneriffe baskets win awards at the North Carolina Basketmakers Association Conventions.  She teaches gourd artistry around the country with her friend and fellow PCPFC member, Dianne Masi. 

Opening reception for Dory will be this Friday, February 25 from 6 - 9PM during Fourth Friday Gallery Walks.  Join us in The Cotton Exchange for refreshments and a chance to meet Dory, view her work, and that of many other artists in our cooperative gallery.

Hope to see you there!
