Description of Event:
The Catawba Valley Pottery and Antiques Festival began in 1998. Its goal was, and continues to be, showcasing the history of Catawba Valley alkaline glazed stoneware and the potters who continually produce this traditional utilitarian ware. Since most potters utilize wood-fired kilns at home sites, information about sales was tenuous, with customers relying on word-of-mouth or post cards. This festival provided an annual sale where pottery made in Catawba Valley could be purchased. Over the years, development and growth have allowed the Festival to include potters from across the state and the South, as well as dealers offering historical pottery and antiques, providing a context for understanding the history and use of pottery in the South. Along with the festival, Saturday includes special programming featuring pottery videos, demonstrations and an annual lecture presented by a special guest. Friday evening will consist of a special Preview Party and early sales opportunity from 7-10pm. The Saturday show will welcome the public from 9am-5pm.Information:
