What you need to know

The Village Potters Clay Center is a nonprofit clay studio, gallery and pottery supply shop at 44 Westgate Parkway in West Asheville. After Hurricane Helene destroyed its River Arts District building in 2024, it reopened at Westgate in April 2026. The gallery sells ceramics made on site by six resident potters and studio tenants, and the supply shop stocks Laguna, Standard and KYMudworks clays, AMACO glazes and Brent wheels. Eight-week pottery classes and workshops serve beginners and experienced makers. It's open daily from 10 AM to 5 PM.
