Pottery 51

Directions

Pottery 51 Ceramics co-op for local NC artists; our gallery is open to the public on the 2nd Saturday of each month. Our gallery does not currently have official hours.

Are you an experienced, independent potter who would like to join a local community? Email us at [email protected] for more information! Pottery 51 is a cooperative arts center dedicated to the continuation of North Carolina’s rich pottery tradition; providing facilities for students, potters and clay artists to expand and nurture their creative expression and artistic skills. However, if you drive by and see our OPEN sign on, that means an artist is working and happy to invite you in! You may also schedule an appointment by messaging us on Facebook.

MARK YOUR CALENDARS!

The holidays are coming, and Pottery 51 is opening our studio doors for our Christmas Pottery Market & Annual Open House!
Come meet the talented local potters of Pottery 51, tour our studio, and shop a beautiful selection of handmade, one-of-a-kind pottery created right here in Mint Hill!

You’ll find festive Christmas pieces alongside mugs, bowls, serving pieces, home decor and other unique pottery that makes a wonderful gift. 🧡 There’s something pretty special about giving a gift that was actually made by hand instead of pulled off a warehouse shelf.

LOCATION: Pottery 51
7714 Matthews-Mint Hill Rd., Mint Hill

We are looking for new members! If you are looking for a community and a studio, reach out to us!

We are located in Mint Hill NC, with easy access from 485 as well as Matthew Mint Hill Rd. (Hwy.51).

Membership includes 24/7 access to a 3500 sq/ft climate-controlled studio with 3 large kilns, 2 Shimpo/Nidec slab rollers, 4 Brent wheels, Wall mounted extruder, numerous work tables, maintained studio glazes and SO much more available for member use.

Our ideal candidate would be a potter who has taken multiple classes and is well versed in studio practices as well as the ability to work independently -- we do not offer classes or workshops. Our studio is ideal for potters that have taken classes and want to start to explore the craft more independently and find their own voice outside that class setting. Potters that work from their homes and want to be a part of a clay community are also encouraged to apply.

We have formed a very supportive community of potters here at Pottery 51 and we are happy to meet with you to tour the space and answer any questions you have. Reach out and schedule your tour today!
