5th Anniversary of Port City Pottery & Fine Crafts!

It is hard to believe, but five years ago a group of wise women potters decided they needed an outlet for their creations.  And wisely too, they realized they needed to include other artisans to provide to the public an array of local, handcrafted art and craft in a gallery exclusively of 3-dimensional artwork.  And so....Port City Pottery & Fine Crafts was born in The Cotton Exchange in beautiful downtown Wilmington, NC.

This month we celebrate their wisdom and our opening five years ago.  We are honoring our founders - l-r: Sybil West, Patricia Hart, Mary Holden-Hall, Pat Holleman - throughout this month culminating in a gala celebratory party on April 27 during Fourth Friday Gallery Walks. Details to follow soon.

Throughout the month, we will have WEEKLY drawings for handmade pottery by our founders.  Here's how it works:

• Drop by, stop in, browse our gallery!  Fill out a door prize slip for a chance to win!
• Purchase something from amongst our 20 member artists and receive ANOTHER chance to win.
• Each Sunday we will select one winner from the week's slips and notify that person.
• You must visit and/or purchase each week to be eligible for that week's drawing.
• NO PURCHASE required!

WEEK ONE: Covered Dish by Pat Holleman

Winner to be announced on Sunday, April 8
