Update on Port City Pottery and Fine Crafts

It's OFFICIAL! The gallery will open on April 1, rather than April 2. The GRAND OPENING will remain on April 27 during the downtown Wilmington "Fourth Friday Gallery Walk!" I left 40+ fiber art items there yesterday to be displayed (probably not all will be), and my potter husband left about 20 items, including pinch pots and ceramic masks. My work includes scarves, bags, neckpieces, neckwraps, wallhangings, wrapped tubes and other objets d'art.

PCPFC's HOURS: Monday - Saturday: 10 - 5:30 and Sundays: 11 - 4.

GRAND OPENING CELEBRATION: Friday, April 27, 6 - 9 PM

Another ETSY Treasury

I got lucky this morning! NO, NO, NO - not that!!!! I snagged yet another Etsy Treadury: http://www.etsy.com/treasury.php?id=1175070474301U15788 that will run for 2 days (at first it said three days!). Such fun to put together a beautiful llist of ETSY artist works around a theme. This one is J U N G L E. So go check it out before it runs out!

Port City Pottery and Fine Crafts

A new venture! For me and my husband! A venerable old building in downtown Wilmington (NC) will be the new home of Port City Pottery amd Fine Crafts. A group of local potters have joined together to fill a need in this coastal area to offer local pottery and other fine crafts to a large audience of local appreciators and visitors.

The Cotton Exchange (http://www.shopcottonexchange.com/) dates from the early 1900s and has been a venue for shops and boutiques since 1975. It will soon host a new gallery for juried pottery and other hand-selected artists' work. My husband is a potter, and I have been asked to become part of the co-op, to display and sell my handknitted fiber art (wearable and functional).

The opening is scheduled for early April with a Grand Opening Celebration during the Fourth Friday Gallery Night on April 27. There is much excitement amongst the members of the Co-op as well as amongst local artists. http://www.portcitypottery.com/ The website is still under construction!

A meeting of the members will take place on Sunday, so more news will be forthcoming!
