Hosted by the North Carolina Pottery Center, the NC Potters Conference is one of the Southeast’s premier ceramics conferences. Throughout its 30+ year history, the conference has featured some of the best ceramics artists from around the world. This conference centers on simultaneous demonstrations cultivating a dialogue of techniques, concepts, and experiences between the artists and the audience. Unlike other conferences, you do not have to pick and choose which workshops to attend. All the demonstrations and presentations are scheduled for the entire group. Potters at any skill level will come away with new ideas and inspiration to improve their work.

There will be three demonstrating artists, who demonstrate simultaneously on Friday and Saturday, and three speakers. We encourage dialogue between the demonstrating artists and the audience.
