They're open weekdays but close at 4. I believe they open around 9. Don't quote me on it though. I live an hour away and I just make sure I'm there before 4.

Standard. Every who enters or works there must be masked. Hand sanitizer and extra masks available. Social distancing protocols in place.

Do you rent or know of a studio/community in Asheville that rents kiln space to someone with two years coursework in ceramics? Any guidance would be appreciated as I don’t want to quit making, but I can’t keep a kiln at home right now.

A local potter recommended the purged white clay which fires at a max of 04. Is this a good grade of clay for high school pottery students?

Only if your budget is really pinched. IMO, students need the same predictability in their materials as other artists when possible.

Do you sell a heavy gauge rod for firing in the kiln? Not rolled wire.

Yes, I have bought several bead rods from them over the last 25 years

Front office will direct you to where you need to get it.

what do you consider the best clay to use when sculpting large figurative pieces? About 1&1/2 feet high

Louise Wiley | Nov 1, 2019
Lynn Justice | Nov 1, 2019

I am not a sculptor, but my friend who sculpts uses Lymans Red from Hiwater, a low fire clay. Or paper clay....she got that in Charlotte but i think it a Laguna clay, so could likely get it at Village Potters in Asheville
