Spruce Pine Potters Market
Plan your visitNext October 2027
31 Cross Street
Spruce Pine, NC
Come see me at my favorite local annual pottery show. The Spruce Pine Potters Market is an annual show that is managed and organized by our artists who live and work in a two county area of western North Carolina. The rich history of craft in this mountain region, along with the renowned Penland School of Craft, has brought these artists to call this area home. Our unique combination of ceramic artists sets the stage for a dynamic show.
